zfin earnings

Show earnings history (with EPS surprise) and upcoming events for a symbol.

Usage: zfin earnings <SYMBOL>

Lists each quarter's report date, EPS estimate, actual EPS, and the surprise (absolute and percent), plus upcoming scheduled dates. Data comes from FMP (FMP_API_KEY).

ETFs, mutual funds, CUSIPs, and some dual-class shares (e.g. BRK.B) have no earnings on FMP's free tier and show as "no earnings data" -- an expected limitation, not a bug.

Example
