# Earnings Date

The Earnings Date indicator shows the date of the next earnings in the chart, on the one hand as a marker on the date bar and on the other hand as a date in an info box on the chart.

The Earnings Date indicator displays the date of the next earnings in the chart, on the one hand on the date bar as a marker and on the other hand as a date in a window in the chart. The indicator changes color when the date has been confirmed and when only 7 or 3 days remain until the next earning.

{% hint style="info" %}
The earnings date is first estimated, then confirmed for one month via our data provider, this happens once a day - so it can happen that a confirmed earnings date changes.
{% endhint %}
