Report Earnings Next

Overview​

The Report Earnings Next profile highlights companies scheduled to report earnings today or before the next market open (BMO). It is built for the period just before the catalyst, when traders are deciding whether to prepare for a breakout, avoid event risk, or build a focused earnings watchlist.

This profile combines upcoming report timing with structure, price behavior, group context, and fundamental expectations so you can study what the market is pricing in before the release. In Alpha Charts, the Earnings Table adds more depth by showing prior surprises, historical reactions, and acceleration or deceleration trends.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to surface companies scheduled to report earnings.

Strategy Focus​

  • Track companies with an imminent earnings catalyst before the move actually happens
  • Prepare for overnight gaps, volatility spikes, and post-report price discovery
  • Compare AI setup structure with forward earnings and sales expectations before the event
  • Use the Earnings Table in Alpha Charts to study historical beats, misses, and prior reaction patterns
  • Decide whether to position, reduce exposure, or keep a name on a high-priority event watchlist
  • Focus on liquid names where earnings can produce tradeable moves with real participation

Filters Applied​

This profile applies a single event-timing filter so results stay focused on immediate earnings risk:

  • Earnings Next = Yes: Includes only companies scheduled to report today or before the next regular-session open.

This keeps the list centered on active earnings catalysts rather than broader future report calendars.

Metrics Used​

Upcoming Earnings Timing and Expectations​

  • EPS - Next Quarter Forward ($): Shows the current EPS expectation for the upcoming quarter.
  • Sales - Next Quarter Forward ($): Shows the expected revenue figure heading into the report.
  • EPS Growth - Next Quarter Forward (%): Helps judge how strong or weak the expected earnings growth is before the release.
  • Sales Growth - Next Quarter Forward (%): Adds forward revenue-growth context ahead of the catalyst.
  • Next Earnings Date: Confirms the exact timing of the next report, including AMC or BMO.

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Shows whether current structure favors a long or short setup into the event.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Helps compare which names still offer a better reward-to-risk profile before earnings.
  • AI - Path to Target: Measures how many barriers remain between current price and the projected target.

Price Action, Volume, and Pre-Event Behavior​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Helps track early movement ahead of the report window.
  • Change From Close (%): Shows how price is already behaving into earnings.
  • Volume All Hours: Captures full-session activity and helps identify pre-positioning before the catalyst.
  • Relative Volume: Flags names already seeing unusual attention ahead of the report.
  • Tight Range: Useful for spotting compressed setups that may be ready to expand once earnings hit.

Group Strength and Relative Performance​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Show whether the stock is heading into earnings with short-term group support or weakness.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help compare current behavior with longer-term trend quality.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add broader context when evaluating whether the report is happening inside a leading or lagging group.

Overall Quality and Institutional Context​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Adds a combined technical and fundamental read on overall stock quality.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help judge whether the company already had stronger fundamentals heading into earnings.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Tracks recent institutional behavior before the report.
  • 52 Week High (%): Helps identify whether price is entering earnings close to a major breakout or reversal area.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to keep the most liquid and visible pre-earnings names at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • Build an earnings watchlist for companies reporting after the close or before the next open
  • Review event risk before holding a position through earnings
  • Compare forward expectations, structure, and liquidity ahead of the report
  • Study prior reaction patterns in the Earnings Table before deciding how to treat the setup
  • Use tight range, relative volume, and AI setup quality to find names that may react sharply
  • Open the strongest candidates in Multi-Charts for faster pre-earnings review
