Earnings Surprises Bulk API

Do you have bulk endpoints where I can easily access multiple companies' financial statements?

Yes you can access our Bach and Bulk endpoints where you will access companies financial statements in bulk. For the quote endpoint you can also call the API with multiple tickers separated via a comma.

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.

How long does your data take to populate after a stock reports their earnings?

Typically, we are able to gather financials through an 8-K within 24 hours of an earnings report, However, this data is not as reliable or as full as the data from their 10-Q which takes a bit longer to process.

Why does the net income field deviate from a companies bottom-line net income?

Most of the time the net income will reflect the bottom line net income, however, if a company has unusual items that they subtract from their net income they are not accounted for in our net income. The bottom line net income is utilized in the calculation of EPS and EPS diluted though.

What is the source of the Analyst Estimates data?

We have multiple estimates, such as Davit Kirakosyan, who has been working for us for a few months, and we aggregate the analyst reports from the news to aggregate them. We are using estimates from the news that we extract for the growth rate and have an algorithm for smaller cap stocks, that uses the CAGR formula with a rolling period of 5 years. We are also working on extracting the estimate from the press release and Wall Street analysts to have a consensus estimate, which will be available soon.
