Earnings move
- Options price in
- — No upcoming report date.
- Average move after earnings
- ±8.9% Absolute close-to-close move, 4 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.

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.
