Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about BigEarnings
What is BigEarnings?
BigEarnings is an AI-powered earnings platform that tracks what happens after the earnings call — not just whether a company beat, but whether the stock went up. It covers 6,200+ companies with 40+ fundamental metrics, post-earnings price tracking across 4 time windows, and algorithmic stock rankings.
What is post-earnings drift?
Post-earnings drift is the tendency for a stock's price to continue moving in the direction of its earnings surprise for weeks or months after the report. BigEarnings tracks this across 4 time windows — 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and ER to ER — so you can see how a company's price reacted after each earnings report.
How does BigEarnings rank stocks?
BigEarnings uses a Growth Trajectory Scoring model that weighs 60% fundamental growth (revenue and EPS trends over 18 months), 15% beat quality (consistency of earnings beats), and 25% price momentum (post-earnings price performance). Stocks are ranked algorithmically and updated quarterly.
What fundamental metrics does BigEarnings track?
BigEarnings tracks 40+ fundamental metrics across 10 analysis sections including valuation (P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA), profitability (margins, ROE, ROA), cash flow, dividends, balance sheet health, and peer comparisons — all contextualized around earnings performance.
How often is earnings data updated?
Earnings dates and estimates are synced daily. Once a company reports, results (EPS, revenue, beat/miss) are typically available within minutes. Guidance updates follow with about a 2-hour delay. AI-generated earnings notes are processed shortly after each report is filed.
What is EPS surprise and why does it matter?
EPS surprise is the percentage difference between a company's actual earnings per share and the consensus analyst estimate. A positive surprise means the company earned more than expected. EPS surprises are one of the strongest predictors of short-term price movement after an earnings report.
Which stocks and markets do you cover?
We cover all U.S.-listed companies that report quarterly earnings — including NYSE, NASDAQ, and major ADRs. That's 6,000+ tickers with earnings dates, EPS/revenue estimates, and historical performance data.
What sectors and industries does BigEarnings cover?
BigEarnings covers all major sectors and 143+ industries across 6,200+ publicly traded companies. This includes Technology, Healthcare, Finance, Energy, Consumer, Industrials, and more. Every company with publicly reported earnings is tracked and analyzed.
Can I use BigEarnings on my phone?
Yes! BigEarnings is fully responsive and works great in any mobile browser. Just visit bigearnings.ai on your phone — no app download needed. A dedicated mobile app is on our roadmap.
What does Pro include?
Pro unlocks everything: unlimited watchlist, advanced filters, 3 years of historical data, CSV export, full performance analytics, AI-powered earnings notes, and sector trend analysis. Check the comparison table above for the full breakdown.
How is the Growth Trajectory Score calculated?
The Growth Trajectory Score is a composite 0–100 rating combining 60% fundamental growth (revenue and EPS trends over 18 months), 15% beat quality (consistency and magnitude of earnings surprises), and 25% price momentum (post-earnings price performance across four time windows). Read the full breakdown at bigearnings.ai/methodology.
What are the four post-earnings price windows?
BigEarnings tracks price performance at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and ER-to-ER (the next earnings date) after each report. Each window measures the closing price change from the trading day before earnings to the specified interval, capturing both immediate reaction and sustained drift.
How does BigEarnings define a "beat" or "miss"?
A beat occurs when the company's actual EPS exceeds the consensus analyst estimate. A miss is when actual EPS falls below the estimate. "Mixed" results happen when EPS beats but revenue misses (or vice versa). All comparisons use the most recent consensus estimate available before the report.
What is the EPS beat rate and how is it calculated?
The EPS beat rate is the percentage of quarters where a company's actual EPS exceeded the consensus analyst estimate. BigEarnings calculates this across all available historical quarters — for example, an 85% beat rate over 20 quarters means the company beat expectations in 17 of those 20 reports.
Can I compare earnings performance across sectors?
Yes. BigEarnings groups companies by sector and industry, letting you compare beat rates, post-ER price performance, and Growth Trajectory Scores within and across sectors. The Performance page shows sector-level aggregated trends, while individual ticker pages include links to sector peers.
How far back does historical earnings data go?
The free tier includes 4 quarters of historical earnings data. Pro plans unlock up to 3 years (12+ quarters) of historical EPS, revenue, beat/miss, and post-ER price performance for every tracked company.
What happens on earnings day in BigEarnings?
On earnings day, results — EPS and revenue actuals vs. estimates — are typically available within minutes of the filing. Price performance tracking begins immediately. AI-generated analysis notes follow within hours. All data is accessible via the Earnings Calendar and individual ticker pages.
Where does BigEarnings get its data?
BigEarnings sources earnings data from SEC filings and verified market data providers. All data is cross-validated across multiple sources before entering the platform. Price data comes from exchange feeds with second-level granularity. Full details are available at bigearnings.ai/methodology.
How should I use AI-generated analysis on BigEarnings?
AI-generated earnings notes on BigEarnings summarize key takeaways from each report (EPS vs. estimate, revenue, guidance, notable commentary). They are designed as a starting point for your own research and are clearly labeled. They should not be treated as financial advice.
Does BigEarnings track pre-market and after-hours earnings moves?
BigEarnings tracks post-earnings performance using closing prices, not intraday or after-hours data. The 1-day window captures the first full trading session after earnings are reported. This approach reduces noise from volatile pre-market reactions and provides more reliable performance tracking.
How does BigEarnings handle earnings date changes or delayed reports?
Earnings dates are synced daily and updated automatically when companies file reschedule notices. If a report is delayed, the calendar reflects the updated date. Historical post-ER performance windows are recalculated from the actual report date, not the originally scheduled date.
Is BigEarnings free?
BigEarnings offers a free tier with access to the earnings calendar and basic company data. Pro and Plus plans unlock advanced features including post-ER price tracking, AI-ranked top picks, deep fundamental analysis, and custom watchlists. A 7-day free trial is available for all paid plans.
