Video Game and Tech Companies Q2 2018 Earnings Release Schedule

Earnings release season is upon us and Shacknews has compiled a list of some of the most important video game and tech companies to watch in the coming weeks.

Stocks move with a lot more volatility before and after earnings releases. It is important to know when a stock you own, or potentially want to invest in, reports their financial results. I have provided a wide range of companies that have their hands in the video game industry. This list includes retailers like GameStop, websites with gaming platforms like Facebook and Google, as well as consumer electronics conglomerates like Apple and Sony. The list also includes GPU and CPU manufacturers like AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. International stocks like Ubisoft and Konami are included in this list with US ADRs (American depositary receipts) included when possible. 

You will see an Investor Relations link under each company's name. That is the best place to find the earnings release of your stock on the day of their earnings release. It is important for investors to understand that a company many report great results and still have their stock drop on the news. This is largely due to expectations of the stock being higher than the results. A useful place to look up your company's earnings expectations is EarningsWhispers.com. As always, I highly recommend Investopedia to anyone with questions regarding fundamental analysis.
