where to find earnings info?

• SEC filings (8-ks, 10-ks)

how to find earnings info quickly?

• BZ Pro
• in press releases: look for bullets at the top, if you don't see info near the top, scroll down all the way to the bottom to the income statement

key info from earnings reports

• sales (top line)
• EPS (bottom line) - look for adjusted or non-GAAP figures <-- this is what analysts use
• guidance
• shareholder payout info (buybacks, dividends)
• if a company is in M&A discussions, could give details
