Background
Corporate earnings reports are material to stock and option prices. The
Earnings data feed contains advance notification of publicly announced
earnings reports that are scheduled to be released on the current business
date or on a future date.
Procedures for releasing earnings information vary considerably among different public companies:
Some companies announce the date and time of an earnings report and follow-up
conference call in a press release. On the report date, the company may hold the
conference call, issue an earnings report press release and file the press release
with the SEC using form 8K. The company files a 10-K or 10-Q with the SEC at a later date.
Some companies do not make any public statements and provide no advance notification
of an earnings report. They simply file a 10-K or 10-Q with the SEC.
Many other possibilities exist, including issuing an earnings report
on the company’s web site instead of press release.
Preliminary Earnings
Prior to an official earnings report, oftentimes companies release preliminary earnings
during which they share material information and provide meaningful guidance as to official
earnings results. Many corporate earnings sources do not include preliminary earnings
announcements or reports, but since historically they have had a pronounced effect on
trading in the security and its options, they are included in the Earning data feed. The
"IsPreliminary" column allows users to distinguish preliminary vs. official earnings reports.
