The period when public companies release quarterly financial reports, including revenue, earnings per share (EPS) and forecasts.
Why it matters: These reports often trigger major stock price movements and index volatility.
Earning season kicks off around the middle of the month after the quarter ends, with the busiest time taking place 4-5 weeks after the start.
Companies typically beat, meet or miss analyst expectations.
Beats estimates: Stock tends to rise
Meets expectations: Minimal movement
Misses projections: Stock tends to fall
External factors such as economic shifts can temporarily distort results. One strong or weak quarter does not define a company's long-term trajectory.
