business quarter
Three-month period
A business quarter is a three-month period used for financial reporting and planning.
Companies divide their fiscal year into four quarters, typically labeled Q1 through Q4: Earnings exceeded projections in the third quarter.
Quarterly reports, earnings calls, and performance reviews follow this cycle.
The quarters may align with calendar quarters (January–March, etc.) or follow a company's fiscal year.
