Step 2: Locate the Earnings Information/Calendar
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
Webull integrates earnings information into its platform, though the direct "show on chart" functionality isn't always a prominent button. Instead, you'll typically find earnings dates listed within the company's fundamental data or a dedicated calendar.
Sub-heading: Checking the Company's Profile
Navigate to Fundamentals: On the stock's detailed page (both mobile and desktop), look for tabs or sections like "Fundamentals," "Analysis," or "Financials."
Find Earnings: Within these sections, you should find "Earnings" or "Earnings Calendar." This will often show past earnings reports and upcoming estimated earnings dates. While this provides the date, it doesn't directly overlay it on the price chart in this view.
Sub-heading: Utilizing the Global Calendar Feature
Access the Calendar: On both the mobile app and desktop platform, there's usually a "Calendar" or "Markets" section in the main navigation. Tap/click on this.
Select "Earnings": Within the Calendar, you'll find various economic and company-specific events. Select "Earnings" to filter for upcoming earnings announcements.
Find Your Stock: You can often search or filter this calendar to find the specific earnings date for your stock. While this is a great way to find the date, getting it onto the chart requires the next step.
Step 3: Enabling Earnings Markers on the Chart
This is the key step to visually represent earnings on your Webull chart. Webull typically uses small icons or vertical lines to mark earnings dates.
Sub-heading: For Mobile App Users
Tap on the Chart: Once you're viewing the stock chart, tap anywhere on the chart area. This will usually bring up a small toolbar or settings icon.
Look for Settings/Indicators: Search for a "Settings" gear icon or an "Indicators" option.
Find "Show Events" or Similar: Within the chart settings or indicators menu, look for an option that says something like "Show Events," "Show Financial Events," or "Earnings."
Toggle On: Enable this option by tapping the toggle switch. You should then see small icons (often a small 'E' or a downward-pointing arrow, or a vertical line) appearing on the chart at the dates corresponding to past earnings announcements. Upcoming earnings dates might also be shown, sometimes with a dotted line for an estimated date.
Sub-heading: For Desktop Platform Users
Right-Click on the Chart: When on the stock chart, right-click anywhere on the chart background. This will bring up a contextual menu.
Explore Chart Settings/Analysis: Look for "Chart Settings," "Analysis," or "Indicators."
Enable Event Display: Within these menus, you'll likely find a section related to "Events," "Financial Data," or "Show Earnings." Check the box next to "Show Earnings," "Show Events," or a similar option.
Observe the Markers: Small icons or vertical lines will then appear on your chart, indicating the dates when the company reported its earnings.
Step 4: Interpreting Earnings Markers on the Chart
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Once enabled, these earnings markers provide valuable context to your technical analysis.

Sub-heading: Understanding the Visuals
Common Symbols: Webull often uses a small "E" or a downward-pointing arrow at the bottom of the candlestick for earnings dates. Sometimes, a vertical dotted line might indicate a future estimated earnings date.
Hover for Details: On the desktop platform, and sometimes on mobile, hovering your mouse over the earnings marker will often display a pop-up with more details, such as the actual earnings per share (EPS) and revenue figures, along with the estimated values for that quarter. This provides a quick overview of whether the company beat or missed expectations.
Sub-heading: Analyzing Price Action Around Earnings
Pre-Earnings Volatility: Notice how the stock price tends to behave in the days leading up to an earnings report. Sometimes, there's increased volatility or a "run-up" in anticipation of good news, or a "sell-off" if expectations are low.
Post-Earnings Reaction: Crucially, observe the price action immediately after the earnings marker. Did the stock gap up or down significantly? Did it trend in a particular direction for several days or weeks? This helps you understand the market's reaction to actual financial performance.
Identifying Trends: By seeing past earnings on the chart, you can identify patterns. Does the stock consistently rally after beating earnings? Or does it tend to sell off even on good news ("buy the rumor, sell the news")? This historical context is invaluable for anticipating future reactions.
Step 5: Customizing Your Chart (Optional but Recommended)
Webull's charting is highly customizable. You can enhance your earnings analysis by adjusting other chart settings.
Sub-heading: Adjusting Timeframes
Short-Term vs. Long-Term: Change your chart's timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) to see how earnings impact the stock across different periods. A daily chart shows immediate reactions, while a weekly chart reveals longer-term trends influenced by multiple earnings cycles.
Intraday for Day Traders: If you're an active day trader, even looking at 5-minute or 15-minute charts around the earnings announcement time (if released during market hours) can provide highly granular insights into volatility.
Sub-heading: Adding Relevant Indicators
Volume: Always include volume on your charts. High volume accompanying price movements after earnings confirms the strength of the market's reaction.
Moving Averages: Add moving averages (e.g., 50-day, 200-day) to see how earnings reports might cause the price to cross these significant support/resistance levels.
Volatility Indicators: Indicators like Bollinger Bands or Average True Range (ATR) can help you gauge the expected price swing around earnings. Increased ATR often precedes earnings.
Step 6: Leveraging Webull's Other Earnings Tools
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Beyond just displaying markers, Webull offers other robust features to help you research earnings.
Sub-heading: The Earnings Calendar
Stay Updated: Regularly check Webull's dedicated "Earnings Calendar" (usually found in the "Markets" or "Calendar" section). This calendar provides a comprehensive list of upcoming earnings reports, allowing you to plan your trading strategies well in advance. You can often sort by date, market cap, or industry.
Sub-heading: News and Announcements
Real-time Updates: On the stock's detailed page, there will be a "News" section. Pay close attention to news articles and press releases related to earnings as they are released. These often provide the context behind the numbers.
Post-Earnings Conference Calls: Many companies host conference calls after releasing earnings. Webull sometimes provides links or summaries of these calls, which can offer deeper insights into management's outlook.
By following these steps, you'll gain a much clearer picture of how earnings affect a stock's price action on Webull, enhancing your overall trading and investment strategy. Remember, earnings reports are significant catalysts, and understanding their impact is crucial for successful trading.
