Printed earnings table disappears from WSJ

Hal Morris, writing on his Grumpy Editor blog, notes that the printed earnings table that has appeared in The Wall Street Journal is now gone.

Morris writes, “For whatever reason, probably to save space, WSJ.com subscribers will only be able to access earnings by going to “company research” on the site.

“Going to that site is not as handy or convenient as quickly scanning the list —often at the breakfast table — that, yesterday (with its final appearance), contained 49 earnings reports.

“Some readers will grumble that unless they know the exact date of earnings releases of companies in their portfolios, it means time-consuming daily clicking on the WSJ’s Web site for the figures.

“Earnings tables on the Web cover only the prior five business days.”

  • It's so ironic that the web is actually making data harder to get in some cases! Over the years I found the "earnings digest" data to be incredibly useful, and now it is gone! I was afraid that when the WSJ was sold, that changes like this would happen. The NYT dropped their tables long ago.
