US Tech Earnings FAQs

How do I trade tech earnings?

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 FOREX.com account to get started, or try a demo to trade risk-free.

Can I short tech stocks?

If you think a company is going to miss estimates and fall in value, instead of hitting or exceeding estimates and rising in value, you can short it by selling its stock instead of buying it. With your FOREX.com account, you can select ‘sell’ instead of ‘buy’ the corresponding CFDs in the platform.

When is earnings season?

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.

Why is earnings season important?

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 a glut of information all at the same time. This often influences subsequent trends and decisions as traders seek to capitalize on the fresh revelations.
