CatalystWatch

Monitor and analyze market-moving catalysts for equities and other financial instruments.

What it does

CatalystWatch tracks upcoming and recent catalysts that can move stock prices, including:

• Earnings reports — scheduled dates, consensus estimates, whisper numbers, and historical surprise trends
• FDA decisions — PDUFA dates, advisory committee meetings, and approval/rejection outcomes
• Economic data — jobs reports, CPI/PPI, FOMC meetings, and other macro releases
• Corporate events — M&A announcements, spin-offs, share buybacks, insider transactions, and activist campaigns
• Sector catalysts — industry conferences, regulatory rulings, and commodity supply disruptions

Usage

Ask your agent to monitor catalysts for a ticker, sector, or watchlist:

• "What catalysts are coming up for AAPL this month?"
• "Show me all FDA decision dates for biotech stocks this quarter"
• "Alert me when any stock on my watchlist has an earnings surprise above 10%"
• "Summarize today's macro calendar and expected market impact"

• CATALYSTWATCH_WATCHLIST — (optional) default watchlist of tickers to monitor, comma-separated (e.g., AAPL,TSLA,NVDA).
