Earnings move
- Options price in
- — No upcoming report date.
- Average move after earnings
- ±3.9% Absolute close-to-close move, 3 reports
Options-implied move: the at-the-money straddle (call + put) on the first expiry after the report, divided by the stock’s close, from EODHD end-of-day option chains. It is what the options market prices as the absolute move to that expiry, not a forecast of direction. Move: close before the news → close after it (before the open: prior close → report-day close; after the close: report-day close → next close), adjusted for splits and dividends, from EODHD end-of-day prices. Reports with an unannounced time are not averaged: both candidate moves are stored instead. Per-report moves, gaps, moves vs SPY and the sector, beat/miss asymmetry and implied vs actual are in Lician Pro below.

As filed with the SEC
EPS actuals are checked against the SEC filing and the company’s earnings press release (8-K EX-99.1). A company that reports only GAAP EPS is graded on its SEC diluted EPS; one that reports adjusted EPS is graded on the provider’s adjusted figure when the release confirms it. A figure that matches neither is shown as unverified, with no beat or miss. Revenue actuals come from the SEC filing of the same quarter where we have it.
