description: Build and maintain a calendar of upcoming catalysts across a coverage universe — earnings dates, conferences, product launches, regulatory decisions, and macro events. Helps prioritize attention and position ahead of events. Triggers on "catalyst calendar", "upcoming events", "what's coming up", "earnings calendar", "event calendar", or "catalyst tracker".
Workflow
Step 1: Define Coverage Universe
- List of companies to track (tickers or names)
- Sector / industry focus
- Include macro events? (Fed meetings, economic data, regulatory deadlines)
- Time horizon (next 2 weeks, month, quarter)
Step 2: Gather Catalysts
For each company, identify upcoming events:
Earnings & Financial Events
- Quarterly earnings date and time (pre/post market)
- Annual shareholder meeting
- Investor day / analyst day
- Capital markets day
- Debt maturity / refinancing dates
Corporate Events
- Product launches or announcements
- FDA approvals / regulatory decisions
- Contract renewals or expirations
- M&A milestones (close dates, regulatory approvals)
- Management transitions
- Insider trading windows (lockup expirations)
Industry Events
- Major conferences (dates, which companies presenting)
- Trade shows and expos
- Regulatory comment periods or rulings
- Industry data releases (monthly sales, traffic, etc.)
Macro Events
- Fed meetings (FOMC dates)
- Jobs report, CPI, GDP releases
- Central bank decisions (ECB, BOJ, etc.)
- Geopolitical events with market impact
Step 3: Calendar View
| Date | Event | Company/Sector | Type | Impact (H/M/L) | Our Positioning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Earnings/Corp/Industry/Macro | Long/Short/Neutral |
Step 4: Weekly Preview
Each week, generate a forward-looking summary:
This Week's Key Events:
- [Day]: [Company] Q[X] earnings — consensus [$X EPS], our estimate [$X], key focus: [metric]
- [Day]: [Event] — why it matters for [stocks]
- [Day]: [Macro release] — expectations and positioning
Next Week Preview:
- Early heads-up on important events coming
Position Implications:
- Events that could move specific positions
- Any pre-positioning recommended
- Risk management ahead of binary events
Step 5: Output
- Excel workbook with calendar view and sortable columns
- Weekly preview email/note (markdown)
- Optional: integration with Google Calendar
Important Notes
- Earnings dates shift — verify against company IR pages and Bloomberg/FactSet closer to the date
- Pre-announce risk: track companies with a history of pre-announcing (positive or negative)
- Conference attendance lists are valuable — which companies are presenting and which are conspicuously absent?
- Some catalysts are recurring (monthly industry data) — build a template and auto-populate
- Color-code by impact level: Red = high impact, Yellow = moderate, Green = routine
- Archive past catalysts with the actual outcome — builds pattern recognition over time

Catalyst Calendar helps you build and maintain a calendar of upcoming catalysts across a coverage universe, including earnings dates, conferences, product launches, regulatory decisions, and macro events. It helps prioritize attention and position ahead of events by organizing coverage, timing, and positioning data.
How This Skill Works
Define your coverage universe (companies, sector focus, macro events, time horizon). Gather upcoming catalysts for each company (earnings, FDA/regulatory decisions, conferences, product launches, M&A milestones, insider windows, etc.). Present everything in a calendar view with Date, Event, Type, Impact, Our Positioning, and Notes, then generate weekly previews to guide positioning.
When to Use It
- Preparing for earnings season across your defined coverage universe
- Tracking regulatory decisions and FDA approvals for relevant companies
- Positioning ahead of major conferences and investor days
- Monitoring macro events (FOMC, CPI, GDP) and central bank actions
- Quarterly portfolio planning and risk assessment ahead of binary events
Quick Start
- Step 1: Define Coverage Universe (target tickers/names, sector focus, macro scope, time horizon)
- Step 2: Gather Catalysts (earnings dates, product launches, regulatory decisions, conferences, macro events)
- Step 3: Build Calendar View and generate Weekly Preview (include positioning and notes)
Best Practices
- Define a precise coverage universe (companies, sector focus, macro layer, time horizon) to avoid overload
- Verify dates against IR pages and trusted sources; note timing shifts as dates move
- Color-code events by impact (Red/Yellow/Green) and document precise positioning
- Archive past catalysts with actual outcomes to build pattern recognition
- Use repeatable templates for recurring events (monthly data, earnings, investor days) and consider Google Calendar integration
Example Use Cases
- Track quarterly earnings dates and times across a defined tech coverage universe
- Monitor FDA approvals and other regulatory decisions for healthcare names
- Schedule FOMC, CPI, and GDP releases and document market positioning implications
- Capture industry conferences (dates and presenting companies) to inform stock ideas
- Track recurring industry data releases and insider trading windows for timing considerations
