What this page gives you
A live, chronological list of upcoming corporate events for popular NSE and BSE listed stocks — quarterly results, board meetings, AGMs, dividend record dates, ex-dividend dates, bonus issues, stock splits, rights issues, buybacks and postal ballots. Each card includes the company name, event date and time in IST, and a one-click button to add the event to your Google Calendar.
This is the same dataset that powers the Earnings Calendar widget on the ATS home page — surfaced here as a standalone, indexable page so you can bookmark it, share it, and keep it open through earnings season.
What an earnings calendar tells you
A modern earnings calendar is more than just a "results date" list. The events tracked on this page fall into several functional buckets — each carries a different trading or investing implication.
Result announcements & board meetings
Companies file an intimation to the exchange (BSE / NSE) at least 2 working days before a board meeting where financial results will be considered. The intimation triggers heightened options activity, sector read-across, and FII repositioning. The actual results print can move the stock 5–15% in a single session — sometimes more on a beat / miss.
AGMs (Annual General Meetings)
AGMs are listed because management commentary at AGMs frequently includes forward-looking guidance, capex plans, dividend policy updates, and sector outlook — all of which are price-sensitive. Block deals and promoter pledge moves often cluster around AGM dates.
Dividend record & ex-dividend dates
The record date is the cut-off when the company finalises the shareholder list for dividend payment. The ex-dividend date is typically T-1 — to receive the dividend, you must hold the stock at end-of-day on T-2 (because Indian equities settle T+1). On the ex-dividend date, the stock typically opens lower by approximately the dividend amount.
Bonus issues, splits, rights and buybacks
Bonus issues and stock splits adjust the share count and price proportionally — there is no economic gain, but the optics often draw retail buying. Rights issues offer existing shareholders the chance to buy more shares at a discount. Buybacks reduce share count and signal management confidence (or excess cash with no better use). All four are listed on this calendar.
Why traders watch this calendar
Earnings season is the highest-volatility window of any quarter. The S&P 500 and Nifty 50 both show that ~70% of annual stock-specific volatility is concentrated in the four earnings weeks. Five practical reasons to keep an earnings calendar open:
- Avoid overnight surprises: if you carry an intraday position into the close, check whether the underlying is reporting after-hours. A 6% gap-up or gap-down is normal on results day.
- Time options strategies: implied volatility (IV) typically rises in the 3–5 sessions before results and crashes immediately after the print — the "IV crush". Long straddles bought a week before results lose money even if the direction is right, because the IV collapse offsets the directional move.
- Sector read-across: a banking-sector heavyweight (HDFCBANK, ICICIBANK) reporting strong NII and credit cost numbers moves the entire BANKNIFTY index. Watching one calendar gives you context for ten stocks.
- Identify post-earnings drift candidates: stocks that beat earnings AND raise guidance often see 1–4 week post-earnings drift in the same direction — a well-documented anomaly in academic finance.
- Plan dividend captures: for income investors holding for record date, the calendar is essential to ensure you buy by the ex-dividend cut-off.
How to use the cards on this page
Each card shows three things — the date in a coloured box on the left, the company ticker name and the event time in IST in the middle, and a Google Calendar add-button on the right.
- Click the calendar icon on the right of any card to launch Google Calendar event creation in a new tab — the date, time and a "pinned by ATS Share Brokers" note are pre-filled. You can adjust the duration and add reminders before saving.
- On mobile, the first 6 events are shown by default with a "See Full Calendar" button to expand the rest — to keep the page scrollable on small screens.
- On desktop, the full list is shown in a scrollable card with thin scrollbar for the long tail.
- Events are sorted chronologically — earliest first. As an event passes, it drops off the list automatically on the next data refresh.
Pre-results trading checklist
Before taking any directional position into a results print, run this 6-point check. The goal is not to predict — it is to size the trade correctly given the asymmetric risk of an earnings move.
- Check IV percentile: if implied volatility is at the 90th percentile, options are expensive — favour selling-style strategies (iron condors, credit spreads). If IV is at the 30th percentile, buying-style strategies are cheaper.
- Look at past 4 quarters of reactions: what was the absolute one-day move on each of the last four results days? That range is your expected magnitude.
- Cut position size in half: overnight gap risk on a results day is roughly 2–3× a normal session. If you would normally take a 1% risk per trade, take 0.5% on an earnings position.
- Hedge with spreads, not naked options: selling a naked put or naked call into earnings is the textbook example of "picking up nickels in front of a steamroller". Always cap your loss with a defined-risk spread.
- Have an exit plan written down before the print: "if stock opens up >5% I exit, if down >5% I exit" — a pre-committed plan beats a panicked decision in a fast-moving open.
- Check sector context: if three stocks in the same sector reported weak numbers earlier in the week, the fourth is unlikely to surprise positively. Sector momentum matters.
Post-results trade setups
Once results are out and the initial reaction has played out, several setups emerge in the days that follow:
- Post-Earnings Announcement Drift (PEAD): stocks that beat earnings AND raise guidance tend to drift in the same direction for 1–4 weeks. This is one of the most replicated anomalies in academic finance (Bernard & Thomas, 1989; updated through 2020s by multiple researchers).
- Buy on guidance, sell on print: the price action after a results print is often more informative than the headline beat / miss. A strong-headline stock that closes red is signalling something (one-time gain inflating reported EPS, weak forward guidance, or smart-money distribution).
- Read management commentary, not just numbers: revenue growth + margin compression + cautious commentary = bad combination even if the EPS line beats consensus.
- Wait for IV crush: options become much cheaper after results. Directional convictions formed AFTER the print can be expressed cheaply with calls / puts.
Common mistakes around earnings dates
- Buying out-of-the-money options the day before earnings hoping for a 10× — most OTM options expire worthless even when direction is correct, because IV crush takes 30–50% off premium overnight.
- Confusing record date with ex-dividend date — buying on the record date does NOT entitle you to the dividend. You must hold by the ex-dividend cut-off.
- Selling before a bonus issue or stock split adjustment — there is no economic loss in holding through; the stock just adjusts price and quantity proportionally.
- Ignoring the result intimation date — the 2-working-day-prior intimation often moves the stock more than the actual result, because positioning happens in advance.
- Treating AGM dates as non-events — AGM management commentary frequently moves the stock 3–5% on the day, especially for mid-caps with limited analyst coverage.
- Carrying overnight intraday positions into earnings without checking the calendar — the most preventable account-blow-up there is.
