The next earnings dates of the current "market leaders" can have a dramatic effect on the stock market at large — so even if you don't own those leaders, following their next earnings dates can be useful. And does a stock's next earnings date coincide with an options expiration? Given the volatility that earnings announcements can notoriously bring to a stock, this is an interesting question to explore (our sister site Stock Options Channel can help you investigate this further by pulling up an options chain).

Ultimately, for any self directed investor who desires to keep tabs on the companies they own, we encourage keeping a calendar of next earnings dates for each porfolio position; or utilize our site as that calendar. Given that most companies only reveal their earnings information four times a year, those four days out of 365 are pretty important to a company's shareholders!

That's why we bring you NextEarningsDate.com to make it easy for investors to investigate the next earnings date information for any stock in our coverage universe. Just type any ticker symbol (or the company name if you don't know its trading symbol) into the top right menu bar, to learn that stock's projected or confirmed next earnings date.

But we also present so much more than just the next earnings date information — you can also look up any stock's past earnings, with pages for earnings history data, along with revenue history, and earnings surprises as well. Thanks for visiting, and we hope you'll think of our site the next time you need to learn about next earnings dates.
