4Q16 Earnings

Earnings Calendar

Earnings for the current quarter will be reported at this page; the link will be on the sidebar at the right, under "Earnings Central." When we start to see earnings reports for any quarter, the "Earnings Central" link is moved to the top of the sidebar until the earning season is over.

I don't have time to check/update earnings on all companies listed below. If you see one that I have missed, feel free to send it in (anonymous comment or by e-mail) and I will post it.

Much of this information is done in haste. I assume there are factual and typographical errors. It is for my personal use only. If this information is important to you, go to the source.

Note: by 4Q16 I lost a lot of interest in tracking earnings. I'm not sure where I will go with this page. In fact, there are more and more days when ... no, I won't go there. 

Maybe a few.

Sounds Like A Beat

MRO: earnings are out. EPS, a loss of $1.62 per share; adjusted, came to 10 cents/share. It's a bit confusing, the following statement at the linked article:

The results exceeded Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of nine analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 13 cents per share.

But then this:

The energy company posted revenue of $1.39 billion in the period, also beating Street forecasts. Four analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $1.19 billion.
