How to read a Catalysts & Earnings report

What it measures. The last eight quarters of reported results against consensus, the price reaction around each report, upcoming dated events (earnings, dividends, conferences, product dates from coverage), and the guidance language that changed. Beats and misses are computed from the reported and estimated figures.

How to read it. The "surprise" history shows a pattern (does the company usually clear estimates, by how much, and what did the stock do the next day). The calendar section lists what is scheduled; the why it matters column is the explanation. Consensus figures are third-party estimates and are attributed as such.

What it does not say. Past beats do not predict the next one, and the price reaction table is history, not a playbook.

How to use it. This is the pre-earnings report: run it three to five days before the date. Turn on the Earnings pack for a ticker in your watchlist and Midaris runs this report plus the Technical one automatically two days before earnings, then a Sentiment report the day after — each charged normally, with a notice beforehand.
