NASDAQ
The Nasdaq Stock Market or NASDAQ is an American stock exchange. It only follows the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in market capitalization and is part of a network of stock markets and option exchanges. Launched in 1971, NASDAQ is the acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. Since then it has been known simply as the NASDAQ and has become one of the most influential exchanges in the world. The NASDAQ was the world’s first electronic stock market, and has since assumed most major trades to be executed by the over-the-counter (OTC) trading system. What Makes Up the NASDAQ? In particular, the exchange also features the NASDAQ Composite, which includes almost all stocks listed on the NASDAQ stock market. Along with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIJA) and S&P 500 Index, it is one of the three most followed stock market indices in the United States. In general, the NASDAQ stock market has three different market tiers. This includes the Capital Market, or an equity market for companies with a relatively small level of market capitalization. The listing requirements for small -cap companies are less stringent than other Nasdaq markets that list large companies with significantly higher market capitalization. Moreover, the Global Market consists of stocks that represent the Nasdaq Global Market. The Global Market consists of 1,450 stocks that meet financial and exchange liquidity requirements, and corporate governance standards. Finally, the Global Select Market is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of 1,200 US-based and international stocks representing the Global Select Market Composite.

Needless to say the markets are very volatile. There is a bend of revenues
Earnings
The profits of a company represent its profits or net benefits as a result of its operations. Revenues are the net benefits of the operation of a corporation. Earnings can be calculated as EBIT, i.e., earnings before interest and taxes, and EBITDA, i.e., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Earnings are an important tool for investors of company shares because they often highlight the company’s financial status and performance. Better performance could result in boosted share prices, while unexpected bad profits could cause a drop in share prices. Using Earnings to Better Inform Investment Decisions Many analysts also use other measures such as earnings per share (EPS) as a way to compare the earnings of multiple companies. EPS is calculated by outstanding earnings for shareholders, divided by the number of outstanding shares. This is a finer step for investors and analysts because each company has a different number of publicly owned shares. Simply comparing the current earnings of companies does not accurately indicate how much money each company has for each of its components in a particular period. As a result, EPS is regularly used to make comparisons and forecasts. with better knowledge. In the U.S., all companies are obligated to report quarterly earnings to the public, notifying the state of any company traded publicly. These events are highly monitored and important, especially for large corporations. In addition, some companies are used as barometers for the state of the overall market or U.S. economy, giving additional weight to these metrics. Ultimately, earnings are an important element of the U.S. stock market and make sure companies disclose their finances in ways that don’t leave investors or the public in the dark.
