Frequently asked questions
Earnings season, or simply ‘earnings’, is the period when most publicly traded companies release quarterly financial reports. Typically lasting around six weeks, these reports offer a detailed look into a company’s health, including revenues, expenses, and importantly, outlook for the future.
While each company will report throughout the year based on their specific fiscal cycles, the majority follow the calendar year, bar a few “off-cycle” reporters. Typically, this means that each of the four earnings seasons kicks off about two weeks after a quarter ends.
While much of market noise is based on speculation, earnings season offers a reality check to true company performance, helping investors stay informed on both recent company performance, and future outlook.

A CFD, or contract for difference, is a type of financial derivative that allows you to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. In the case of shares, this is speculating on the share price of an individual company, opting to either place a long, or short position.
