Past Earnings of Importance

The past earnings of a given company can be incredibly important for self directed investors to study when doing due diligence, for a number of reasons. For one, knowing the likely timeframe for the next earnings date can be ballparked/projected by looking at when on the calendar that company has announced earnings in the past.

And in turn, knowing the likely earnings dates of the current "market leaders" can have a dramatic effect on the stock market at large — so even if you don't own those leaders, following their earnings can be a useful exercise in keeping up with the stock market at large and the potential market-moving news ahead.

And of course, when it comes to investigating an individual stock, what could be more important than researching the past earnings of that company? Indeed, for any self directed investor doing their due diligence on a given stock, investigation of that company's past earnings is critical.
