Forecasts: How might these stocks react to earnings?



Check out forecasts for % up/down, post-earnings moves for big-name stocks!



• Quarterly earnings reports often trigger big jumps/drops in stock prices - presenting potentially massive opportunities for short-term trades/long-term investments.

• Forecasted % price move refers to the market's implied percentage move for the US trading session following the earnings announcement.

• It is not a prediction of direction or a guarantee of future performance.

• Actual price moves may be smaller, larger, or even in the opposite direction.

• Tables below to be updated on Mondays (last update: October 19th)



What are US Earnings? Why does it matter?



Every 3 months, each publicly-listed US company (whose stocks are accessible to regular traders and investors) has to inform the world:

how good a job it did (or not) at earning profits over the past quarter

how much profits it expects to earn in the future

These earnings reports often trigger big jumps/drops in the stock's price - which offer massive opportunities for short-term trades/long-term investments.

Traders/investors/analysts use the latest info to pass judgement on the company's value (market cap) - deciding whether they should buy/sell/hold the stock.

Furthermore, the fact that such earnings announcements are scheduled helps traders and investors prepare in advance - so they don't miss out.

3 Easy Steps: How can traders use the data above?



1) Check Ahead



Review latest market forecasts in the tables above PRIOR to the company's earnings release.



2) DYOR: Do Your Own Research



The data in the tables above are just one source of information.

Also, read Bybit Learn's "Market Pulse" reports.

Conduct additional analysis through various sources.

Form your own opinion and view on the upcoming earnings:

Is your selected company's earnings announcement likelier to outperform expectations (shares tend to go UP) or disappoint markets (shares tend to go DOWN)?



3) Set your Target & Manage your Risk



For traders looking to capitalize on short-term, post-earnings volatility, the % moves listed in the tables above may be used as a guide for setting TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) price levels.

Example (for illustration only):

A stock is currently trading around $100, and is forecasted to rise/fall 3% after its earnings announcement.

If the trader is looking to enter a market order:

• BUY orders (hoping the price will go UP after earnings announcement): The TP could be set around $103 - if the trader chooses to rely on market forecasts.



• SELL orders (hoping the price will go DOWN after the earnings announcement): The TP could be set around $97 - if the trader chooses to rely on market forecasts.

IMPORTANT: Know your risk appetite!

Before placing the trade, review the estimated Profit and Loss amounts that's auto-calculated in the "Set TP/SL" form.

"Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" levels should be set based on your trading strategy, and risk tolerance (how much capital the trader is willing to risk, for potential profits).
