Latest earnings reactions

All earnings reactions

How this works: the earnings date and EPS figures come from Nasdaq. The calls are the notes in our database from the session that reacted to the results and the next two, one per firm (its first); for reports after the close, notes dated the report day are treated as previews and left out. “Before” is the previous target quoted in the note or, if missing, the firm’s last target in our database. The median target uses firms with both figures. The share move compares the close before the reaction session with the close of the session that moved most (the report day or the next one).
