Reported Earnings

Overview​

The Reported Earnings profile highlights companies that have just released results today or after the previous regular-session close (AMC). These stocks are often in the most active part of the post-earnings cycle, when price discovery is still unfolding and the market is reacting to beats, misses, guidance, and management commentary.

It combines fresh earnings data with structure, price behavior, volume, and AI setup metrics so you can judge whether a move is likely to continue, fail, or reset into a new opportunity. In Alpha Charts, the Earnings Table adds more context by showing prior surprises, acceleration trends, and how the stock behaved around earlier reports.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to surface companies that have just reported earnings.

Strategy Focus​

  • Track stocks that have just reported earnings and are still in the highest-volatility reaction window
  • Compare EPS surprise, sales surprise, and immediate price behavior to judge whether the move is justified
  • Use AI - Alpha Strategy, AI - Risk/Reward, and AI - Path to Target to compare post-earnings setup quality
  • Spot continuation setups, failed reactions, and reversals while volume and participation are still elevated
  • Use the Earnings Table in Alpha Charts to review beat or miss history, acceleration, and prior post-report behavior
  • Build focused watchlists of liquid post-earnings names for Multi-Charts, intraday follow-through, or next-session planning

Filters Applied​

This profile applies a focused event filter so results stay limited to names with a fresh earnings catalyst:

  • Earnings Reported = Yes: Includes only companies that reported after the previous regular-session close or anytime today.

This keeps the profile centered on immediate post-earnings setups rather than older reports that no longer carry the same event relevance.

Metrics Used​

Earnings Results and Immediate Catalyst Context​

  • EPS Surprise - Latest Quarter (%): Shows how much reported EPS beat or missed consensus expectations.
  • Sales Surprise - Latest Quarter (%): Shows whether reported revenue came in above or below expectations.
  • EPS Growth - Latest Quarter (%): Adds context on recent earnings momentum beyond the surprise itself.
  • Sales Growth - Latest Quarter (%): Helps confirm whether the report was supported by stronger top-line growth.
  • Last Earnings Date: Confirms exactly when the report was released, including AMC or BMO timing.

AI Strategy and Setup Quality​

  • AI - Alpha Strategy: Shows whether post-earnings structure currently supports a long or short setup.
  • AI - Risk/Reward: Helps compare which reactions still offer favorable upside or downside relative to risk.
  • AI - Path to Target: Measures how clear the route is toward the projected target by counting barriers to resistance or support.

Price Action, Volume, and Participation​

  • Change Pre Market (%): Captures the move if the report hit before the open or if the reaction extended into pre-market trading.
  • Change From Close (%): Shows how far price has moved from the prior regular-session close.
  • Volume All Hours: Confirms whether the earnings move is supported by broad participation across sessions.
  • Relative Volume: Helps distinguish meaningful post-report activity from weaker reactions.
  • Tight Range: Useful for finding names that compressed before earnings or are beginning to reset after the first reaction.

Group Strength and Relative Trend​

  • Industry Rating 1 Day, Theme Rating 1 Day: Show whether the move is happening inside a stronger or weaker group.
  • Relative Strength 1 Day, Relative Strength 1 Year: Help compare immediate reaction strength with broader trend quality.
  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Add longer-term context when deciding whether the report is occurring inside a leading or lagging area of the market.

Fundamentals and Institutional Context​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: Adds a broader technical and fundamental view of overall stock quality.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Help frame whether the company already had stronger underlying fundamentals before the report.
  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Shows whether institutional behavior is supporting or rejecting the move.
  • 52 Week High (%): Helps identify whether the reaction is pushing toward a major breakout area or happening well below it.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) to keep the most liquid and actively traded post-earnings names at the top.

Practical Use Cases​

  • React quickly to fresh earnings releases while price discovery is still developing
  • Compare surprise size, price action, and volume to judge whether the move has real conviction
  • Find continuation or fade setups after the initial earnings reaction
  • Use AI setup metrics to rank which post-earnings names still offer attractive structure
  • Open candidates in Alpha Charts to review prior earnings behavior in the Earnings Table
  • Build a high-quality watchlist of liquid earnings movers for the current or next session
