Earnings Historical & Upcoming API

How can I determine if earnings data was released before or after markets open from the historical earnings data?

You can determine if earnings data was released before or after markets open by looking at the 'time' field in the earning calendar API. If the 'time' field shows 'BMO' it means the earnings were released before markets open, and if it shows 'AMC' it means the earnings were released after markets close.

Could you please clarify the difference between the API end points "earnings confirmed" and "earnings calendar"?

The Earning Confirmed endpoint is a list of earnings announcements for publicly traded companies that have already been confirmed and do not return upcoming dates. The Earnings Calendar API is a list of upcoming & past earnings announcements for publicly traded companies, including the date, estimated earnings per share (EPS), and actual EPS (if available) and it's the quarterly schedule and timetable laying out individual release dates of financial reports containing performance data for publicly traded corporations.

Why is the /earnings-calendar endpoint not returning future earnings dates?

Future earnings data is still available through the earnings-calendar endpoint, but you’ll need to include both a from and to date in your request to retrieve it. For example: https://financialmodelingprep.com/stable/earnings-calendar?apikey=your_api_key&from=2025-04-09&to=2026-04-09 This will return earnings scheduled within the specified date range.

Where can I find historical outstanding shares data for each stock by year?

You can find historical outstanding shares data for each stock by year in the real-time income statement section.

In the new stable endpoints, you removed "fiscalDateEnding" — is there a way to tell which quarter each estimate refers to?

This was removed because the purpose of this earnings calendar is to specify the earnings release and there were a large number of questions surrounding the date presented (as it is not the same date as when it was released). This can still be found on the statements endpoint where it is better served.

How do you handle historical data of financial statements when stock splits or reverse splits occur?

The financial statements are handled as required by the SEC. The number of shares outstanding are directly sourced from these filings. For historical price and shares outstanding, these are adjusted to account for stock splits and reverse stock splits

Is your data split adjusted?

Yes, we have historical data adjusted for splits and dividends.
