Historical Earnings Calendar Data for U.S. Stocks - Date/Time and EPS
This earnings calendar item gets data for current and upcoming earnings for US Stocks. The item downloads the date, time, EPS and Previous Year EPS of each US Stock (Starting from 2010) and stores the data in a custom historical database "earnings_cal". You can access the data later and create trading strategies and rules based on it using the QuantShare language.
Information regarding the historical database fields:
Date: The date field contains the date the earning numbers are or will be released.
Time (timeday): This is a text field that contains a letter. It will contain "A" for earning releases after market hours, "B" for earnings releases before market hours, "D" when the earnings are released during market hours and finally "U" if the release time is unknown.
EPS: This is the abbreviation of earnings per share; that is how much money a company is making per share. This fundamental ratio is calculated by dividing the net earnings by the number of outstanding shares.
Previous Year EPS (prevyr): The Company's earnings per share of the last year. You can compare this number to the current EPS to see if the money a company is making is increasing or decreasing in a year period.
If you want to get earnings calendar for stocks listed on major exchanges (U.S. Exchanges, Euronext Exchanges, London Stock Exchange...), use the Historical Earnings Calendar for Major Stock Exchanges downloader. Besides getting historical earnings data for more stocks, this item also gets data going back to +6 years in the past. These earnings data however do not contain the EPS and Previous EPS fields.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
