    Stellar Earnings Reactions This Season
    Feb 4, 2019

    Stocks have been reacting very positively to their earnings reports so far this season. As shown below, the average stock that has reported earnings this season (since January 10th) has gained 1.12% on its earnings reaction day. Earnings season is still not even halfway complete, but if these type of gains continue, it would be the most positive season since the Q1 2009 and Q2 2009 reporting periods that ran from April 2009 through August 2009. If you remember 2009, that was the start of the bull market when the S&P 500 exploded higher off of the Financial Crisis lows.

    [​IMG]

    The strength this earnings season comes from earnings beats performing well and earnings misses not falling as much as usual. As shown in the chart and table below, the average stock that has beaten EPS estimates this season has gained 2.64% on its earnings reaction day, while the average miss has fallen just 1.92%. It’s extremely rare to see companies that beat go up more than companies that miss go down. Enjoy it while it lasts, because this type of action won’t last forever. We’ve never gone a full year with this being the case, as is shown below.

    The one-day price change for stocks that beat or miss EPS estimates has been very consistent on a year-to-year basis over time. Generally speaking, a stock that beats will gain 1.9% on its earnings reaction day, while a stock that misses will fall 3.5%. Just have a look at the performance of beats and misses from year-to-year and see how consistent these numbers are.

    [​IMG]

    Below we show how stocks are performing on their earnings reaction days this season by sector. As shown, Technology stocks are catching a huge bid after they release Q4 results with an average gain of 2.41% on their earnings reaction days. Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary stocks are the next best performers, followed by Communication Services and Financials. The only two sectors where stocks aren’t reacting positively to their Q4 earnings results are Energy and Real Estate. The average Energy stock has traded exactly flat on its earnings reaction day this season, while the average Real Estate stock has fallen 0.49%. Every other sector is averaging gains.

    Most Positive Reactions to Earnings in 5+ Years
    Feb 7, 2019

    Matt Phillips at the Times wrote an article earlier this week about the positive price reactions we’re seeing from stocks reporting earnings this season, even for companies that aren’t reporting the best of numbers. Expanding on that analysis (which featured some of our work), below are two charts highlighting this trend.

    In the first chart, we show the rolling three-month guidance spread for US stocks reporting earnings over the last five years. This chart shows the difference between the percentage of companies raising guidance minus the percentage lowering guidance on a rolling three-month basis. As shown, after peaking above +10 in the middle of last year, the guidance spread has plummeted, reaching -4 as of yesterday. This means that more companies are lowering guidance than raising guidance, and the current reading has moved below the long-term average.

    [​IMG]

    As guidance numbers have fallen, stock price reactions to earnings reports have been soaring. Below we show the median one-day change that stocks experience after reporting earnings on a rolling three-month basis. Over the last three months, stocks reporting earnings have posted a median one-day gain of +0.78%. As shown, that’s the strongest upside reaction to earnings in at least the last five years. In fact, to find a period where the three-month average was stronger, you have to go back to the early months of the bull market following the March 2009 lows. And this is coming as guidance numbers weaken.

    It appears as if investors overshot the downside in Q4 2018 and are now rushing to get back in for fear of missing out.
