Best, Worst Performing Stocks on Earnings

Another screen we recently ran from the Bespoke Interactive Earnings Report Database found the stocks with the highest and lowest percentage of up days on earnings reports. We filtered our list to stocks currently trading higher than $5 that have had at least 20 quarterly earnings reports.

The first list below highlights the stocks that have been the most consistent in showing gains on earnings report days. On the first trading day following an earnings report from APH, the stock has gone up 84% of the time. APH is followed by HAR, PRGS, CSX and DOX. Other notable stocks that consistently trade higher on earnings report days are NKE, ATVI and DE. Surprisingly, CFC is also on the list. Since 2001, the stock has gone up on earnings report days 75% of the time.

We also filtered the list to show stocks that have gone up the least often on earnings report days. Investors typically don't send shares higher on earnings reports regardless of whether they beat or missed estimates. Key names on this list are AMD, GM, WB and IP.

The stock market got bit in the butt, today. Now the street realizes that they are in a BEAR MARKET. Worst than that its a long term
DEPRESSION and not a RECESSION.
Paulson must be smoking funny tobacco, he didn't make any sense this morning on CNBC. He refused to address the problems that are effecting the every day Jane & Joe. All he is doing is bailing out the crooked element on wall street, and protecting the WHITE HOUSE.
What we have isn't Capitalism its like the gang that ran the government in Russia when Joe Stalin was the boss, its call socialism for the few to reap rewards for stiffing the people.
I wouldn't buy anything the market has to offer, until the new administration takes over next year. We need government for the people by the people, not government and lobbyist for the rich and corporate America. We need to get rid of the sumo self proclaimed elite.
