When does General Dynamics Corporation (GD) report earnings? On Oct 30, 2026, before the open

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 12 during market hours. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that General Dynamics filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 68 quarters since Jul 29, 2009, and every row links to its filing.

Next announced date: Oct 30, 2026, before the open. It comes from the company through the public Nasdaq calendar, not from the SEC: it is a scheduled date and companies do move it. Everything else on this page already happened, with its filing attached.

The latest, still without a report

  • Jul 29, 2026, Wednesday at 12:01 New York time (during market hours). see the 8-K

It is this company's most recent 8-K with item 2.02 and it does not yet have its 10-Q or 10-K behind it, so there is no way to say which quarter it belongs to: it does not enter the figures above or the table, and for the same reason it might not be an earnings announcement at all (some companies use this same item for production figures or monthly sales).

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 General Dynamics, a median of 0 sessions over the last 12 quarters, i.e. the same market day.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that General Dynamics 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 is derived from the hours in which EDGAR accepts filings.

What this data does not know

  • The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so General Dynamics's median 12:01 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before Jul 29, 2009: it is General Dynamics's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. The page's only future date, Oct 30, 2026, was announced by General Dynamics on the Nasdaq calendar and can be moved. General Dynamics reporting during market hours 45 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
  • General Dynamics's identity is its SEC CIK (0000040533), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
