A stock catalyst is any scheduled or expected event with a realistic chance of repricing a stock or an index: inflation and employment prints, central-bank meetings, earnings reports, product announcements, clinical readouts, court rulings. What separates a catalyst from noise is timing — you can know the date in advance and prepare, instead of reacting after the move.
For single stocks, the quarterly report is usually the largest scheduled repricing event of the year. Guidance given alongside results also re-rates peers and suppliers — which is why one company's earnings night can move an entire sector the next morning.
Earnings dates are synced daily from our own coverage pipeline; projected dates carry an (est.) label and cite their source. Macro prints follow official published schedules (BLS, Federal Reserve, NBS) — where a 2026 date hasn't been officially confirmed yet, it is projected from the historical calendar and labeled (est.). Always confirm with the official source before trading.
Each event carries a short read on what comparable events actually did to prices — typical size of the move, direction of rate repricing, or how often guidance beat. It's a base-rate, not a prediction.
The calendar is free during beta. The Monday email digest is free as well. Paid tiers (vertical deep-dives, API access) come later.
