BIST Earnings Calendar: When Do Turkish Companies Report?

BIST-listed companies are required to publish financial results four times per year. Reporting deadlines are set by the CMB (Capital Markets Board of Turkey) and all disclosures are made through KAP, the Public Disclosure Platform.

BIST Quarterly Reporting Schedule

Q1 (January–March): Must be disclosed by May 11. First-quarter revenue, profit, and balance sheet data.

H1 / Q2 (January–June): Must be disclosed by August 19. Six-month cumulative figures.

Q3 (January–September): Must be disclosed by November 14. Nine-month cumulative figures.

Full Year / Q4 (January–December): Must be disclosed by March 31. Audited annual results — the most scrutinized report of the year.

Where to Track Earnings Dates

KAP (kap.org.tr): The official source. Search by company name or ticker to find all financial disclosures listed chronologically in real time.

Borsaya.com news feed: KAP earnings disclosures appear in the "bilançolar" (financials) news category as they are published.

Brokerage platforms (İş Yatırım, Garanti BBVA, Gedik) also publish sector earnings calendars with analyst consensus estimates.

How Earnings Dates Move Stock Prices

Beat (above consensus): Stock may gap up at open, but "buy the rumor, sell the news" reactions are common — price can pull back even on strong results if expectations were already high.

Miss (below consensus): Sharp sell-off, especially if the stock had been pricing in optimism.

Pre-earnings volatility: Trading volume and price swings typically increase 1–2 weeks before the release date as investors position ahead of results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find BIST earnings dates?

KAP (kap.org.tr) is the authoritative source. Navigate to any company's page and look under "Financial Statements and Notes" for all historical and upcoming disclosures.

Should I buy stocks before earnings?

It's a high-risk strategy. Even a strong beat can trigger a sell-off if expectations were already priced in. Experienced investors typically reduce position size ahead of earnings.

When is the annual (Q4) report released?

BIST companies must publish audited full-year results by March 31. The longer deadline reflects the time needed for independent audit sign-off.

Which earnings reports get the most attention?

BIST 30 companies — especially banks, holdings, and energy companies — receive the highest analyst coverage. Bank earnings focus on net interest margins; holding companies on consolidated profit.
