Earnings, dividends, insiders, IPOs and corporate actions pages
How the Quantisnow /earnings, /dividends, /insiders, /ipos and /corporate-actions pages work, what each one lists, and how to open the per-ticker version of each.
Key takeaways
- /earnings, /dividends and /insiders are news hubs that collect earnings releases, dividend announcements and Form 4 insider filings as they hit the wire.
- Each hub has a per-ticker version at /earnings/<TICKER>, /dividends/<TICKER> and /insiders/<TICKER>.
- /corporate-actions lists cash dividends, stock splits, reverse splits and spinoffs with ex-dates and payable dates.
- /ipos groups companies by the year they went public, and /ipos/<YEAR> ranks that year's listings by market cap.
Quantisnow has five pages for scheduled and recurring company events: /earnings, /dividends, /insiders, /ipos and /corporate-actions. The first three are news hubs built from the wire. Corporate actions is a dated calendar. IPOs is a directory by listing year.
Which page to use
| Page | Type | What it lists | Per-ticker version |
|---|---|---|---|
| /earnings | News hub | Earnings releases, results, guidance and earnings call announcements | /earnings/<TICKER> |
| /dividends | News hub | Dividend declarations, increases and special dividends | /dividends/<TICKER> |
| /insiders | News hub | SEC Form 4 insider transactions | /insiders/<TICKER> |
| /corporate-actions | Calendar | Cash dividends, splits, reverse splits, spinoffs with ex and payable dates | /corporate-actions?ticker=<TICKER> |
| /ipos | Directory | Companies grouped by IPO year | /ipos/<YEAR> |
The earnings and dividends hubs are lists of announcements per ticker. They are not a structured calendar with consensus estimates.
Earnings: /earnings
/earnings has two parts:
- Companies reporting recently: chips for up to 24 tickers with the most recent earnings items, each with a count. Click one to open
/earnings/<TICKER>. - Latest earnings on the wire: the newest earnings releases across all companies.
/earnings/<TICKER> (for example /earnings/MSFT) shows that company's earnings releases in reverse date order. To learn what to look for in a release, read How to read an earnings report and Earnings season calendar.
Dividends: /dividends
/dividends shows Companies recently paying dividends and Latest dividend items. /dividends/<TICKER> shows the company's dividend history as it appeared on the wire.
For the exact ex-dividend and payable dates, use /corporate-actions (below). Dividend dates explained covers what each date means.
Insider trading: /insiders
/insiders collects Form 4 filings: buys, sells and option exercises by officers, directors and 10% owners. It shows Companies with the most recent insider activity and Latest insider transactions on the wire.
/insiders/<TICKER> lists every Form 4 for one company. If you only care about purchases, use /top/insider-purchases (see Top lists). Background reading: Form 4 insider trading explained and How to track insider buying.
Corporate actions: /corporate-actions
/corporate-actions is a dated calendar across U.S. markets. Without a ticker it covers the last 14 days and the next 60 days, with these sections:
| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Upcoming dividends | Cash dividends with ex-date, payable date and amount |
| Stock splits | Forward and reverse splits |
| Spinoffs | Spinoff events |
| Recent dividends (past) | Dividends whose ex-date has passed |
Counters at the top show Upcoming, Dividends, Splits and Spinoffs.
How to see corporate actions for one ticker
- Open
/corporate-actions?ticker=<TICKER>, for example /corporate-actions?ticker=KO. - The page switches to that company and covers the past year and the next year.
- Click View TICKER to go back to the company page.
The company page also shows a short Corporate events block. See Company pages and Stock splits and corporate actions.
IPOs: /ipos
/ipos lists every IPO year Quantisnow has companies for. Click a year to open /ipos/<YEAR> (for example /ipos/2021), which ranks up to 250 companies that went public that year by market cap. Each row links to the company page.
This is a directory of listed companies by IPO year, not a forward calendar of upcoming deals. To follow new deals as they are filed, watch S-1 filings in the SEC feed. See Form S-1 and IPO filings and The IPO lifecycle.
Data timing
The news hubs follow the site's feed timing: a 3-minute delay for free and signed-out visitors and real time on Plus. To be alerted when a followed company reports earnings, declares a dividend or files a Form 4, set alert rules on /follows. See Alerts.
