An earnings report is a financial document released by a publicly traded company, detailing its performance over a specific period, usually quarterly or annually. This report includes key information such as revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS), and other financial metrics. Investors and analysts closely examine these reports to assess the company's profitability and overall financial health. Earnings reports often influence a company's stock price, as they provide insights into its operational efficiency and market position. Companies like Apple and Amazon typically release their earnings reports on a set schedule, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions based on the latest financial data.
