If you are looking for earnings data for U.S. Stocks then the following item will help you get it: Historical Earnings Calendar Data for U.S. Stocks - Date/Time and EPS.
And if you are looking for earnings data for International Stocks (UK, Canada, France, Italy...) then the following one is what you need: Historical Earnings Calendar for Major Stock Exchanges

Both items get earnings calendar data and store it in a custom historical database whose name is "earnings_cal".
The database contains the following fields: (for the one that gets U.S. stocks EPS data)
timeday: Release Time
eps: EPS or Earnings per share

- In the new opened form in QuantShare, click on "Download", on "Save" and finally on "Start"
