When does Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV) report earnings? Dates quarter by quarter

None of its last 12 announcements carries a time on the filing, so there is no way to say which session they fell in. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Southwest Airlines filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 70 quarters since Apr 16, 2009, and every row links to its filing.

Next date: LUV 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.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Southwest Airlines 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. No time is published for this company: its EDGAR acceptance stamp and the official header of its filings disagree, so there is no way to know whether the stamp is in New York time or UTC, and the two readings are four or five hours apart —enough to change session—. The dates are firm; the time and the session are deliberately left empty rather than filled in with a guess. In 16 of this company's 70 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 any 8-K time is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before Apr 16, 2009: it is Southwest Airlines's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. Every date on the page already happened.
  • Southwest Airlines's identity is its SEC CIK (0000092380), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
