Other Earnings Tools

The Earnings Table is your starting point for analyzing reported and projected EPS and Sales — but MarketAlpha also provides an entire set of prebuilt profiles and metrics to extend your research further.

These tools help you identify upcoming earnings catalysts, monitor post-report reactions, and surface multi-quarter acceleration setups — whether at the ticker or group level.

Group Screener: Earnings Activity​

Use group-level profiles to understand macro earnings cycles and uncover themes with concentrated reports, structural growth, or fundamental momentum.

Earnings Activity​

  • Shows which industries or themes have the highest percentage of companies reporting this week
  • Helps track earnings season intensity, macro catalysts, and theme-based volatility
  • Useful for timing plays, especially in group rotation or sector momentum strategies

EPS Exploration​

  • Surfaces long-term and forward-looking EPS leaders across industries and themes
  • Highlights consistent structural earnings growth and acceleration
  • Ideal for building watchlists of high-quality growth groups

Ticker Screener: Company-Level Earnings Setups​

Use these real-time profiles to act on upcoming earnings, fresh earnings reports, or multi-quarter momentum setups.

Reports Earnings Next​

  • Shows companies scheduled to report after market close today (AMC) or before open tomorrow (BMO)
  • Great for event-driven setups and pre-positioning with structure-aware filters

Reported Earnings​

  • Tracks companies that just released earnings (AMC yesterday or BMO today)
  • Combines surprise metrics, post-report momentum, and institutional flow
  • Perfect for catching reaction trades or evaluating report quality

EPS & Sales Momentum​

  • Filters for companies with multi-quarter acceleration in both earnings and revenue
  • Uses both historical and forecasted growth to validate trend strength
  • Ideal for breakout filtering, high-quality growth trades, or multi-factor setups

Earnings Tables and Markers​

Earnings setups are also visualized directly on charts to support fast decision-making:

  • An “E” marker is displayed on all Alpha Charts to indicate past and upcoming earnings dates.
  • The Earnings Table overlay provides full historical and forward EPS/Sales data, including beat/miss, acceleration, and growth context.

To enhance setup quality even further, you can use powerful ratings that aggregate multiple dimensions of financial performance:

EPS, Sales, and Profit Rating​

EPS Rating​

The EPS Rating measures a company’s earnings-per-share performance relative to all others on the platform. Ratings range from 1 to 99, with 99 representing the strongest relative EPS growth.

Inputs include:

  • Recent EPS growth (last 2 quarters)
  • Annual EPS growth across up to 5 years
  • Non-GAAP adjustment to remove one-time events
  • Relative scoring across the full universe

This is especially helpful when identifying earnings-driven breakouts, consistent compounders, or benchmarking momentum across peers.

Sales Rating​

The Sales Rating evaluates revenue growth trends, both recent and long-term, on a 1 to 99 scale.

Inputs include:

  • Recent revenue growth (last 2 quarters)
  • Annual growth across 5 years
  • Normalization for M&A and temporary revenue distortion
  • Relative scoring across the market

Used to identify early-stage growth, validate top-line strength, and screen for leading revenue performers in expanding industries.

Profit Rating​

The Profit Rating captures profitability by combining margins and capital efficiency:

  • After-tax and pre-tax margin growth
  • Return on equity (ROE) trends
  • Long-term consistency and scalability
  • Relative scoring for peer comparison

A strong Profit Rating helps identify high-margin business models, scalable operations, and financial durability — making it an ideal complement to EPS and Sales insights.

All three ratings are updated daily and available as columns, filters, and prebuilt profiles for real-time earnings quality discovery.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Monitor upcoming earnings events to avoid risk or plan directional trades
  • React to fresh reports with structure-aware post-earnings setups
  • Scan for EPS acceleration and trend confirmation before price breakouts
  • Compare industry-wide earnings themes and drill down to specific tickers
  • Combine Alpha Charts + Earnings Table to validate momentum across multiple quarters
  • Use EPS, Sales, and Profit Ratings to filter for high-quality fundamentals across all screener views

Summary​

The Earnings Table is just the beginning. MarketAlpha’s screener profiles, ratings, and chart overlays give you the tools to turn earnings insights into actionable setups — across themes, sectors, or individual companies. Whether you’re preparing for reports or reacting to surprises, these tools connect timing, structure, and acceleration in one workflow.
