Earnings Analysis

Analyze quarterly earnings for US-listed stocks. Combines SEC EDGAR XBRL filings with web search for consensus estimates, then produces a structured beat/miss report with trend analysis.

Setup

No dependencies required. All scripts use Python standard library only.

Workflow

Step 1 — Identify the quarter and find consensus (web search)

Always search first. Do NOT rely on training data for earnings results.

Search 0 — identify the most recently reported quarter:

• [Company] [ticker] latest quarterly earnings results [current year]

Cross-check against today's date (calendar fiscal year companies):

• Q1 results typically reported: Apr–May
