How to use the Earnings Sentiment Dashboard

This dashboard helps you pair timing (the earnings calendar) with context (surprise history + analyst momentum). Use it to prioritize research, not as a standalone trade signal.

General overview: what “earnings sentiment” is capturing

Earnings are one of the most common catalysts for large single-stock moves. This page combines when a report is happening with how the company has behaved historically (surprises/beat streaks) and how analysts are leaning.

A practical workflow is: start with calendar clusters (busy days), narrow to tickers with consistent surprise patterns, then confirm whether analyst sentiment is strengthening or weakening.

Remember: calendars shift, and outcomes are uncertain. Treat this as a research accelerator and always size risk appropriately.

Detailed breakdown: the key panels and how to interpret them

Use these cards as a checklist so you don’t miss timing, history, and sentiment context when scanning upcoming earnings.

Earnings catalyst checklist

Setup strength ↑ when Timing clarity + Surprise history + Sentiment momentum align

The goal is not to predict a single print, but to spot situations where multiple inputs agree. For example, a busy earnings window + strong historical beats + improving analyst sentiment can justify deeper research.

Calendar ribbon

When catalysts cluster

  • Use it for: spotting busy days/weeks with higher aggregate catalyst risk.
  • Filter: separate BMO (pre-market) vs AMC (after-hours) timing to match your trading/investing workflow.
  • Workflow: start broad, then click tickers to drill into context.

Ticker spotlight

Surprises, beats, and analyst split

  • Beat probability: summarizes recent quarters where EPS exceeded estimates (history, not a forecast).
  • Surprise context: compare EPS and revenue surprises together—one can beat while the other misses.
  • Conviction check: look for consistent patterns rather than one-off results.

Analyst recommendations

Sentiment momentum by sector

  • Use it for: spotting improving vs deteriorating conviction across sectors.
  • Watch for: a sector-level shift that persists across updates rather than a single-day move.
  • Best practice: cross-check with price/volume and fundamentals before acting.

Badge colors

Quick visual prioritization

  • Green: stronger historical beats / higher bullish sentiment in the visualization.
  • Orange/Red: caution flags (weaker sentiment or lower beat history) that may warrant deeper validation.
  • Use with care: colors summarize thresholds; they do not encode certainty.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the earnings sentiment data refreshed? ▼

Earnings calendar data is synchronized weekly from the Finnhub Earnings Calendar API while analyst recommendation trends are refreshed daily to capture sentiment shifts.

What does the beat probability badge mean? ▼

Beat probability summarizes how many of the last four quarters each company exceeded analyst EPS estimates. It is a descriptive statistic based on historical EPS surprises and is not a forward-looking guarantee.

How do I use the BMO/AMC timing filter? ▼

Use the timing filter to separate pre-market (BMO) and after-hours (AMC) earnings. Timing matters because liquidity, spreads, and implied volatility can behave differently around each window.

Why is an upcoming earnings date missing for a ticker? ▼

Earnings dates can change and providers occasionally publish incomplete calendars. If a ticker is missing, it may be in a quiet window, temporarily delayed, or awaiting an updated confirmation from the data source.

Is analyst sentiment the same as price direction? ▼

No. Analyst recommendations reflect published opinions and can lag price moves. Use sentiment as context alongside fundamentals, technicals, and risk management rather than a standalone signal.

Important considerations

  • Earnings dates can move — always confirm timing from multiple sources if you’re planning around the event.
  • Historical beats aren’t guarantees — surprises depend on expectations and guidance, not just recent history.
  • Sentiment can lag price — analyst changes often follow market moves and should be treated as context.
