  • Information:
  • When a company releases its earnings report, it provides investors with a clearer understanding of the financials, overall health, and future guidance of the business. With this new information, investors promptly adjust the company's valuation. Following the earnings announcement, the stock typically experiences upward or downward movement (drift) until the next earnings report. The extent of the drift is influenced by traders' expectations for the upcoming earnings, typical order flow from pensions and mutual funds, and other factors. To assess the market's expectations, we analyze the drift to determine how far the stock has deviated from historical averages. For example, a drift significantly above the averages may indicate trader overenthusiasm or the broadcasting of new information justifying a more bullish sentiment. Through benchmark measurements, we can evaluate both the magnitude and direction of the stock's drift, contributing to an overall assessment of valuation and trader sentiment.
