What are US Shares?
US shares refer to shares of companies that are listed on US stock exchanges like NASDAQ and NYSE. These shares are essentially units of ownership in US-listed companies, also commonly referred to as 'stocks', a term that is often used interchangeably with shares in the financial markets.
Stock trading is the process of buying and selling these shares. Using share CFDs, you can speculate and capitalise on the price movements of selected stocks for capital gains. Access more than 500 of the largest US listed companies through our US share CFDs.
With Vantage, you can enjoy $0 commissions trading for popular US share CFDs like Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Netflix (NFLX), Alphabet (GOOG) and more, whether you are from South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, or beyond.
What is the US Earnings Season?
The earnings season refers to the period of time when listed companies report their quarterly results to shareholders and the public.
During the earnings season, companies will divulge key information that give investors more clarity on the state of the business over the reported period. This can include key metrics such as revenue growth, gross margins, operating margins, and guidance on future growth.
For traders, earnings season tends to be a period with greater volatility in the stock market, presenting opportunities to traders from all around the world for trading stocks.
