Catalyst Calendar

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".

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

Corporate Events

• FDA approvals / regulatory decisions
• Contract renewals or expirations
