Trade US tech earnings as they happen

To trade tech earnings, you can decide whether you think a tech company’s share price is going to move up or down when it releases its quarterly report – and open a position accordingly with CFDs. Open a City Index account to get started, or try a demo to trade risk-free.

Public companies release their quarterly earnings over the course of a week or so, four times a year. Naturally, this means that traders gain access to all information at the same time. This often influences subsequent trends and decisions as traders seek to capitalize on the fresh revelations.

Each earnings season begins one or two weeks after the last month of each quarter (December, March, June, and September), so typically you can expect the majority of public companies to release their earnings in early to mid-January, April, July, and October.
