Earnings Reports

[lytle]

Does anyone know of a free website where you can get the quarterly earnings reports in at least perhaps 6 hours after the company reports them?

I realize that only a very holy group has access to the quarterly earnings report when they are announced but finding the numbers earlier than a day late would make me happy.

Thanks.

You can get them here the microsecond (yes, microsecond lol) they are submitted to the SEC by the company. You can view them at the same time professional market analysts are looking at them for the first time as well!

and it's all free!

Hey!!! It seems like you're the only one that answers my questions! And I appreciate it.

I went to the website you offered and discovered that it's a government website and as you know any government website is invariably complicated and not user-friendly. (I know because I work in a government office! ) However, I will persevere and find the information because I'm sure, that as you say, they post the quarterly earning promptly.

If by chance you are familiar with the EDGAR website and know how to get to the company quarterly earnings please let me know the way.

Thanks again friend.

The only reason I know how to use it so well is becasue we went over it a few times in Financial Accounting.

If you know when the company is comming out with earnings, just go to that EDGAR site when they are suppose to release them, type in "10-q", that exact phrase less the quotation marks, 10-q, hyphen and all, 10-q.


From there you should see all the companies that have released their quarterly reports in time order.

If you want to get really fancy, you could look through some of their old reports and find exactly when they call the diluted EPS. From there, say they use the standard phrase, "Diluted EPS". You could click on their Quaterly report, to to Edit>Find on this page (on your internet explorer), then type the phrase "Diluted EPS" in the box click search a few time and you'll have the numbers you're looking for within less than a minute of the Quarterly release
