Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The strategy of buying AMTD shares when it beats revenue and selling them after 30 days led to a substantial underperformance, yielding a -70.05% return against the benchmark return of 36.35%. This approach exhibited a Sharpe ratio of -0.56, reflecting significant risk aversion. Despite the strategy's maximum drawdown being 0%, indicating a lack of further losses, it failed to leverage potential gains effectively. The results underscore the challenges of executing a revenue-based trading strategy for Ametek, suggesting that a more nuanced approach might be necessary in navigating post-earnings market dynamics.
