When does Danaher Corporation (DHR) report earnings? After the close in 11 of its last 12 reports
Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 11 after the close and 1 during market hours. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Danaher filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 69 quarters since Jul 22, 2009, and every row links to its filing.
Next date: DHR does not appear in the announced-earnings calendar this site covers (Oct 21, 2026 to Nov 24, 2026). When the company announces the day it will show up here; until then there is no date, and an estimate of ours would not be one.
The last 20 quarters, one by one
"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Danaher, a median of 1 session over the last 12 quarters.

DHR window: when it reported after the close, from that day's close to the next; when it reported before the open or during market hours, from the previous close to that day's. Split-adjusted closes and EPS with its estimate, from Yahoo Finance. It already happened: it does not anticipate the next announcement.
Where each number comes from
From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Danaher filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it was read off the filing's official header. In 46 of this company's 69 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and those are flagged with an asterisk in the table.
What this data does not know
- The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Danaher's median 21:47 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
- Nothing before Jul 22, 2009: it is Danaher's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
- What will happen. Every date on the page already happened. Danaher reporting after the close 6 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
- Danaher's identity is its SEC CIK (0000313616), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.

What is behind these dates
The concepts on this page, explained from scratch in the Academy. Free, no account.
- Guessing next quarter's earnings gives no edgeWhy knowing a quarter's earnings in advance is not enough to make money: what moves the price is the gap against what was expected.
- Supply, demand and price: why it rises and falls constantlyWhat happens to the price on announcement day, and why excellent results can leave the stock falling.
- The three financial statements of a companyWhat is inside the 10-Q and the 10-K whose lag behind the announcement this page measures.
- Point-in-time data and look-ahead biasWhy the date a figure became public matters as much as the figure, which is exactly the distinction behind the two date columns above.
