Open Overlays and select the information to display.
- Earnings marks reported earnings events.
- Dividend declaration, Ex-dividend, and Pay date distinguish the stages of a dividend.
- Splits marks share-split events.
- Beat/miss coloring distinguishes earnings outcomes where available.

Drawing controls appear on desktop. Your drawings belong to the selected company.

Choose Select to select an existing drawing or drag it to a new position. Press Escape to cancel unfinished drawing work; this does not leave the active drawing tool. Choose Select or toggle the active tool off to leave drawing mode. Select a drawing before using Delete. Drawing limits apply to each company.
On mobile, use the chart and its view controls. Create drawings on desktop.
Data and timing
The chart presents daily observations, adjusted for share splits. It is not an intraday trading chart. Dividends are separate events; enabling their markers does not turn price history into a reinvested return series.
Limitations and disclosures
Drawings are your annotations. They do not place trades or predict a price move.
