An earnings report is the quarterly update where a company says how much it earned. Each company picks its own date, and I read the expected dates from my calendar. On November 7, 2026, 66 of the 200 US stocks I cover had a date that had not yet passed. The first is Monday, November 9, and the last is Thursday, January 14, 2027.

Tuesday is the most common day with 22 of the 66, then Thursday with 17 and Monday with 15. Wednesday has 9 and Friday 3.
These are the 14 largest companies on my list that have a date, ranked by market value today.
| Company | Expected date | Time of day |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco | Thursday, Nov 12 | After the close |
| Applied Materials | Thursday, Nov 12 | After the close |

Source: own calendar, as of November 7, 2026. "Not stated" means my calendar has a date but no time of day.
The time of day matters for the price. A company that reports after the close is first priced on the next trading day. Of the 66 dates, 36 are after the close, 22 before the open, and 8 have no time.
For the other 134 stocks my calendar holds no coming date. That includes the largest names by market value: Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla and Meta. It does not mean they will not report. It means the next date is not in my data yet. For those, the stock page says the date is not yet available, and the company's own investor page is the place to look.
Quarters do not end on the same day either. Of the 66 dates, 41 are for a quarter that ended September 30 and 20 for one that ended October 31. Cisco and NVIDIA report for a quarter that ended October 31. JPMorgan reports in January for a quarter that ends December 31.
Analysts publish an estimate for earnings per share, which is the profit divided by the number of shares. I compared it with the number each company then reported, across seven rounds of reports. The periods end between October 2024 and June 2026. I call a report a beat when the result is more than 2% above the estimate, a miss when it is more than 2% below, and otherwise in line.
| Group | Reports | Beat | In line | Miss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The 50 largest stocks | 336 | 70.5% | 19.0% | 10.4% |
| The other 145, analysts expected a profit | 533 | 71.7% | 9.8% | 18.6% |
| The other 145, analysts expected a loss | 432 | 44.4% | 7.9% | 47.7% |
| All 195 stocks | 1,301 | 62.3% | 11.5% | 26.1% |
Source: own calculation on 1,301 reports from 195 of the 200 US stocks (5 have no results in the period). Size ranked by market value today. Measured November 7, 2026.
The 50 largest stocks missed in one report out of ten. The smaller ones missed in nearly three out of ten, but that figure mixes two kinds of companies. Where analysts expected a profit, the smaller companies beat the estimate as often as the large ones did (71.7% against 70.5%) and missed 18.6% of the time. Where analysts expected a loss, the result was close to a coin flip, with 44.4% beats and 47.7% misses.
The share of beats was steady from round to round, between 59.9% and 63.9%. A beat was the normal outcome in every round.
Of the 66 stocks with a date, 42 report by November 20: 29 in the week of November 9 and 13 the week after. NVIDIA comes on November 17 after the close and Walmart on November 19 before the open. Another 134 stocks have no date in my calendar yet. Across 1,301 reports, 62.3% beat the analysts' estimate and 26.1% missed. The 50 largest stocks missed least, at 10.4%, and companies expected to lose money missed most, at 47.7%. My data does not show how the price moved after a beat or a miss.
One thing to check: whether a stock you follow reports before the open or after the close, and on which day, on the company's investor page.
The next expected report date for every stock I cover, together with grades for value, quality and momentum, is free and needs no sign-up on the stock pages, for example NVIDIA. Today's lists are on Best stocks.
It depends on the company, and for 134 of the 200 US stocks I cover there is no new date in my calendar yet. As of November 7, 2026, 66 have one. Twenty-nine of them report in the week of November 9, among them Cisco and Applied Materials on Thursday, November 12. NVIDIA reports on Tuesday, November 17, after the close, and Walmart on Thursday, November 19, before the open. These dates are expected, not guaranteed. Each stock page on WallStreetBuys shows the next expected date and whether the company reports before the open or after the close.
They are expected dates, and a company can move them. If a date matters to you, check the investor relations page of the company. The dates in this article are from November 7, 2026.
Across seven rounds of reports, with periods ending between October 2024 and June 2026, earnings per share came in more than 2% above the estimate in 811 of 1,301 reports (62.3%) from the US stocks I cover, more than 2% below in 340 (26.1%), and within 2% in 150 (11.5%).
