●Global earnings season
Earnings Calendar: Q3 2026
The report dates that move the largest stock markets in the world, October 14 to November 19, 2026. US mega-caps carry so much of global market cap by country that their earnings weeks function as country-level events.
Why a country ranking site keeps an earnings calendar
WorldMarketStats ranks countries by the market value of their listed companies, on World Bank data running from 2000 to 2025. That ranking looks slow-moving until you watch an earnings season. The United States sits at the top by a wide margin, and a handful of its companies are each worth more than the entire listed market of most countries. When Microsoft, Apple or Nvidia reports, the global market cap by country table effectively moves, even though the official data only updates once a year.
This calendar lists the season's major US reports week by week, with timing and consensus estimates where credible sources publish them. Dates marked confirmed were announced by the companies; a few, flagged in the notes, were calendar estimates when this page was built on October 14, 2026. Read the tables alongside the country ranking and the season reads like what it is: the quarterly audit of the world's market hierarchy.

Estimates are analyst consensus figures published before the reports, from the sources below and the per-company sources in our dataset. Blank estimates (n/a) mean no consensus figure was published by those sources when this page was built on October 14, 2026. A few dates were calendar estimates rather than company confirmations at build time, including Amazon and McDonald's; company-confirmed dates include Meta (October 21), Microsoft (October 28), Visa (October 27), Boeing (October 27) and Apple (November 2). *Nvidia's revenue figure is the company's own guidance of $108.0 billion plus or minus 2 percent from its August 26, 2026 release, not analyst consensus.
How to use this calendar
- Read guidance, not headlines
- With index earnings growth expected near 29.5 percent, most beats are already priced in. The outlook statements are what reprice countries.
- Mark the heavy week
- October 26 to 30 carries roughly 44 percent of the US index's market value. If you rebalance country exposure once a season, do it after this week, not before.
- Translate singles into countries
- A 5 percent move in one mega-cap can equal the annual change of a mid-sized national market. Treat the biggest prints as country events, not stock events.
- Mind the time zones
- Before-open reports land before 9:30 a.m. Eastern; after-close reports give Asian and European markets a full session to react first.
