Earnings season is one of the most important periods in the trading calendar. When major companies report their quarterly results, the market reacts — sometimes sharply. Whether you trade US stocks directly or hold UK-listed funds with US exposure, knowing when these reports land is essential.
That’s why we’ve built the ChartsView Earnings Calendar — a free tool for all ChartsView members that tracks upcoming earnings dates across the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.
What Is an Earnings Calendar?
An earnings calendar shows you which publicly traded companies are scheduled to report their quarterly financial results, and when. Most US companies report four times a year, and the dates are clustered into “earnings seasons” that follow the end of each fiscal quarter.
For traders, these dates matter because earnings announcements often trigger significant price moves. A company that beats analyst expectations can gap up 5-10% overnight, while a miss can send shares tumbling. Knowing the schedule in advance lets you plan your trades, manage risk, and avoid unwelcome surprises.
What We’ve Built
Our earnings calendar gives you a clean, week-by-week view of upcoming earnings across the two most important US indices:
- S&P 500 — the 500 largest US companies by market capitalisation
- NASDAQ 100 — the 100 largest non-financial companies on the NASDAQ exchange, heavily weighted towards technology
Each entry shows you the company ticker, name, and reporting time. You’ll see colour-coded badges indicating whether the company reports BMO (Before Market Open) or AMC (After Market Close). This matters because BMO reports affect the opening price, while AMC reports set the tone for the following day.
Once results are in, the calendar displays EPS (Earnings Per Share) estimates alongside the actual reported figures. Beats are highlighted in green, misses in red — so you can see at a glance how the quarter played out.
How to Use It
Navigate to chartsview.co.uk/earnings-calendar and you’ll see the current week laid out in five columns, Monday to Friday. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move between weeks, or hit Today to jump back to the current week.
At the top, you can filter by index. The S&P 500 tab is selected by default, showing you the broadest coverage. Switch to NASDAQ 100 to focus on the big tech names, or select All to see everything.
The stats bar at the top gives you a quick summary: how many companies are reporting that week, how many before the open, how many after the close, and how many have already reported.
If you’re a logged-in ChartsView member with stocks in your Portfolio Tracker, any holdings with upcoming earnings will be highlighted with a star icon — so you never miss a report on a stock you own.
Why UK Traders Should Watch US Earnings
Even if you primarily trade UK stocks, US earnings season has a direct impact on your portfolio. When Apple, Microsoft, or NVIDIA report, the ripple effects are felt across global markets. A strong set of US tech results can lift the FTSE 100 at the open; a disappointing quarter from a US bank can drag sentiment lower worldwide.
Many UK investors also hold US stocks through platforms like Trading 212, Interactive Brokers, or IG. If that includes you, the earnings calendar is an essential planning tool.
We’re working on adding UK earnings dates for FTSE 100 companies in the near future — watch this space.
