Looking at the 1-year trend line slope and the position of the price relative to the 1-year moving average in combination (Test 1 in table below), we see 40% to 47% in upward movement. Looking at...
The fourth quarter earnings season starts on Monday with Alcoa's (AA) report after the close.

To do this, we grab every earnings report for every company that has reported since 2002 and calculate its average absolute 1-day change on the first day of trading following the earnings release. For companies that report in the morning, we...
From our Interactive Earnings Report Database, below we have filtered out the US stocks that have historically been the most volatile on their earnings report days.
