Standard earnings calendars are glorified spreadsheets: company name, date, estimated EPS, actual EPS. MRKT Edge's Earnings Calendar adds the layer institutional traders work with, what the market is watching this quarter beyond EPS, historical reactions to beats and misses, cross asset impact mapping (how an Apple earnings surprise moves NASDAQ 100, semiconductor ETFs, and even USD/JPY), and which reports are genuinely market moving vs. which are calendar noise.
From spreadsheet dates to institutional grade prep.
You see EPS estimate and date, that's it
No historical earnings reaction data per company
Earnings impact stays in one stock, cross asset moves are missed
Every earnings report looks equally important in a standard calendar
Sector rotation from earnings season is invisible
Context brief tells you what the market is actually watching this quarter
Last 4 to 8 reactions with average move, win rate, and extreme range built in
Full cross asset chain mapped: NVDA beat to semis, NASDAQ 100, USD/JPY
Impact ratings separate market moving reports from calendar noise
Sector rotation implications displayed for every bellwether report
Briefs, history, chains, and impact ratings.
EPS beat vs. miss is only the headline. The market is watching: revenue growth relative to expectations, guidance for next quarter, forward margin trajectory, and the specific narrative relevant to that company this cycle (AI capex for NVDA, consumer health for retail bellwethers, interest rate sensitivity for financials). MRKT's context briefs for each major report tell you the real catalyst variables, not just the number the algo will react to.
For every major company, MRKT shows how the stock and related assets have historically reacted to the last 4 8 earnings reports: average move at 1 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour post release, win rate for the directional bias, and the historical worst case and best case outcomes. This data calibrates realistic volatility expectations before each report.
Major earnings don't stay in one stock. An NVIDIA beat reverberates through: semiconductor sector ETFs, AI adjacent equities, Taiwan Semiconductor (supply chain), NASDAQ 100 (index weight), and even USD/JPY (risk on appetite). An Apple miss impacts consumer electronics, the broader S&P 500, and Asian supply chain equities. MRKT maps these cross asset chains for every market moving report.
Not every earnings report matters. MRKT's impact ratings separate the reports that historically move markets from the calendar noise, so traders can focus preparation time on the 5 10 reports each week that actually create tradeable opportunities.
The most market moving earnings consistently come from: mega cap tech (Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon) due to their index weighting in S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100, sector bellwethers that signal broader trends (JPMorgan for financials, Caterpillar for industrials, FedEx for logistics/consumer), and highly watched growth companies where guidance matters more than current quarter results. MRKT's impact ratings identify these high significance reports each week.
Earnings surprises from major US companies affect cross asset markets through the risk appetite channel. NVIDIA or Apple beats that signal strong US tech sector health typically boost risk appetite, strengthening USD slightly, weakening JPY (risk on yen outflow), and having mild negative implications for gold (safe haven demand falls). Earnings season misses, particularly from multiple bellwethers, can trigger broader risk off moves that benefit gold and JPY while pressuring equity currencies like AUD.
The professional preparation workflow: identify the high impact reports for the upcoming week using MRKT's earnings calendar impact ratings. For each high impact report you plan to trade, review the context brief (what the market is watching this quarter) and the historical reactions (average move, win rate, extreme range). Decide in advance whether you'll trade pre announcement, post announcement, or the sector rotation rather than the stock directly. Use MRKT's cross asset impact mapping to identify which instrument gives you the cleanest exposure to the catalyst.
An earnings whisper number is an unofficial EPS estimate, typically representing the 'real' market expectation rather than the official consensus. Because institutional investors are often more optimistic than the published consensus, a company can beat the official estimate but miss the whisper number and still sell off. MRKT tracks the relationship between published consensus and typical institutional expectation through historical beat/miss patterns to contextualise what 'beating estimates' actually means for each company.
Yes. MRKT's backtest tool covers earnings reactions for S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 constituents. Query how a specific stock or sector ETF reacted to the last 6 earnings reports, beating, meeting, or missing estimates, to calibrate realistic volatility expectations and historical directional win rates before each earnings season.
