OpenClaw AI Earnings Tracker: NVDA, MSFT & Earnings Season Automation

Introduction

During earnings season, the OpenClaw AI Earnings Tracker scans the financial calendar for specific tickers (NVDA, MSFT, etc.), searches for report drops, and posts a beat/miss summary with guidance highlights to a Telegram topic. Investors get real-time earnings intelligence without refreshing financial news sites.

Earnings move markets in minutes. Missing a beat or miss by an hour can mean missing a trade. The Earnings Tracker automates the watch — you get the key facts (EPS, revenue, guidance) in one message, the moment the report hits. No Bloomberg terminal required. No manual scraping. Just a Heartbeat task and a Telegram channel.

How It Works

Heartbeat task runs every 15-30 minutes during market hours when earnings are expected:

1. Check financial calendar for tickers on watchlist
2. If earnings expected today, poll news/API for report release
3. When report detected: extract EPS (actual vs estimate), revenue, guidance
4. Format summary: "NVDA: Beat on EPS ($0.52 vs $0.48 est). Revenue in line. Raised FY26 guidance."
5. Post to Telegram topic or DM

Two-tier processing is critical. Tier 1: script fetches calendar + news. If no new report → no LLM call. Tier 2: when report detected, LLM extracts and formats. Result: you pay for tokens only when there's something to summarize. See two-tier processing.

Configuration

Watchlist in memory: NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, etc. Earnings calendar API (e.g., Finnhub, Alpha Vantage). News source for report detection. Telegram for delivery. Two-tier: script fetches data; LLM summarizes only when new report found.

APIs: Finnhub (free tier), Alpha Vantage, or Polygon.io. Most provide earnings calendar + basic fundamentals. For report detection, use news APIs (NewsAPI, Benzinga) or scrape earnings-specific sites. Store API keys in OpenClaw's encrypted credential store.

Watchlist: Keep in ~/clawd/WATCHLIST.md or similar. Format: ticker, company name, notes. The agent reads this at each cycle.

Output Format

Concise, actionable. Example: "MSFT Q2: EPS $2.45 (est $2.38) ✓. Rev $62B (est $61.5B) ✓. Azure +28%. Stock +3% AH." User gets the key facts in one message.

Include: EPS (actual vs est), revenue (actual vs est), key metric (e.g., Azure growth), guidance (raised/lowered/held), and after-hours stock move if available. One line per ticker. Just the good stuff.

Cost & Timing

Cost: ~$5–15 per earnings season for 5–10 tickers. Most Heartbeat cycles find nothing new → zero LLM calls. When a report drops, one summarization = ~500–1000 tokens. A typical season has 20–40 report events. At $3/M tokens, that's ~$0.50–2. Total cost dominated by the few cycles when reports actually hit.

Timing: Run every 15–30 min during earnings windows (typically 4–8 PM ET for many companies). Outside earnings season, reduce to daily or disable. No point polling when no reports are expected.

Pro Tips

• Pre-market vs after-market: Some companies report pre-market, some after. Adjust Heartbeat schedule. Pre-market: run at 6–7 AM. After-market: 4–8 PM.
• Deduplicate: Same report may hit multiple news sources. Track "last reported" per ticker. Don't summarize the same report twice.
• Guidance matters: Beat/miss on EPS is table stakes. Guidance (raised/lowered) often moves the stock more. Always include.
• Telegram topics: Use a dedicated "Earnings" topic in your channel. Keeps alerts separate from other notifications.
