For those that work for public companies

Are you able to project how the market will react to earnings releases for your company? I’m on our blackout list but I honestly never know how the stock will respond even with “inside” information.

Nope, never on earnings. Seems like I'm always surprised by the movement and when I get movement right, I'm still surprised by the magnitude.

No it never makes sense to me. Analysts talk to CFO during the quarter. Analysts also subscribe to different analytics services for the industry so they have a pulse of what’s going on. I find it most interesting how they sell the story on the calls versus knowing internal story.

Yeah I've definitely had a few "yeah that's not exactly what happened" moments during earnings calls.

not surprising
I’d have some seriously creative explaining to do if I had to do an “earnings call” on my company
quarter by quarter just doesn’t work for smaller companies.
it’s dumb to place too much emphasis on that

I’ve found the stock generally goes the opposite of what I expected on earnings release. Over time, the direction aligns with my expectations but the volatility on earnings is ludicrous.
Also, the opening remarks shouldn’t be required. The report is published and so is the press release. Get to the point everyone is there for...analyst trying to poke holes with an executive team.

When I did consulting, my public clients usually didn't move the needle on earnings much unless it was a big surprise announcement. The thing is management is always adjusting earnings targets, the last thing they want is for the street to be surprised.
Over the long haul, I definitely could have benefited from trading the stock. Insider trading is illegal for a reason, it works.
