An earnings report is a financial statement released by a public company, typically quarterly, detailing its profits, losses, and overall financial performance over a specific period.
They provide crucial information about a company's financial health, growth, and profitability, helping investors make informed decisions about buying, selling, or holding stock.
Key metrics often include revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS), operating expenses, and future guidance or outlook.
Publicly traded companies in the U.S. typically release earnings reports quarterly, usually within a few weeks after the end of each fiscal quarter.
Publicly traded companies release earnings reports to comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., SEC in the U.S.) and to inform shareholders and the wider market.
