Best and Worst Performing Stocks on Earnings

After starting out strong, the S&P 500 is now down about 1% this earnings season. The average stock that has reported has gone down 0.27% on its report day as well, so while the numbers have come in strong, stocks have reacted very poorly.

Below we highlight stocks that have gone up or down at least 15% on their report days this earnings season. Companies highlighted in yellow are in the S&P 500. As shown, Revlon (REV) went up the most on its earnings report with a gain of 43.3% yesterday. Amazon.com (AMZN) ranks second with a gain of 26.8%, followed by Timberland (TBL), American Superconductor (AMSC, New York Times (NYT), Cardtronics (CATM), and SLM Corp. (SLM). Other notables on the earnings winners list include Lexmark (LXK) and RadioShack (RSH).

Amcore Financial (AMFI) went down the most on its earnings report this season with a one-day decline of 38.4%. K-Sea (KSP) and PrivateBancorp (PVTB) both went down more than 35% as well. Goodyear Tire (GT), Apollo Group (APOL), and Boston Scientific (BSX) are the S&P 500 names on the list of losers.

Thanks for the information. Looks like you needed two out of three ( EPS, Revenues and Raised Guidance ) to get a pop. Hopefully the people sold into that pop because now comes the drop. Most stocks that did great in Sept. are now lower in Oct. 10,000 was the wall (for now). The dollar shows signs of life and everyone sells stocks based upon the past inverse relationships which were lifting all commodities related stocks. It will be interesting Monday to see what traditional defensive stocks like big drug cos. and the health care stocks that got hit in Sept will do on Monday.
