When does HCA Healthcare, Inc. (HCA) report earnings? Before the open in 12 of its last 12 reports

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 12 before the open. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that HCA Healthcare filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 59 quarters since May 3, 2011, and every row links to its filing.

Next date: HCA 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 latest, still without a report

  • Jul 24, 2026, Friday at 07:45 New York time (before the open). see the 8-K
  • Jul 14, 2026, Tuesday at 07:40 New York time (before the open). see the 8-K

They are this company's most recent 8-K filings with item 2.02 and they do not yet have their 10-Q or 10-K behind them, so there is no way to say which quarter they belong to: they do not enter the figures above or the table, and for the same reason one of them 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 HCA Healthcare, a median of 4 sessions over the last 12 quarters.

HCA window: 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 HCA Healthcare 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. In 2 of this company's 59 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 HCA Healthcare's median 07:47 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before May 3, 2011: it is HCA Healthcare's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. Every date on the page already happened. HCA Healthcare reporting before the open 17 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
  • HCA Healthcare's identity is its SEC CIK (0000860730), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
