The standard calendar quarters that make up the year are as follows:

  • Q1 (First Quarter): January, February, and March
  • Q2 (Second Quarter): April, May, and June
  • Q3 (Third Quarter): July, August, and September
  • Q4 (Fourth Quarter): October, November, and December.

    These quarters serve as a basis for periodic financial reports, dividend payments, and other financial activities for companies. Investors and analysts often use data from different quarters to compare performance and evaluate trends. Keep in mind that not all companies have fiscal quarters that align exactly with the standard calendar quarters, so it’s essential to check each company’s specific reporting periods.If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! 😊
