Post-Earnings Price Action Review
The strategy of purchasing Blackboxstocks (BLBX) shares after a revenue drop on earnings release day and holding for 30 days has historically resulted in a 14.5% loss, indicating this approach has not been profitable over the past five years. The significant loss within the first 30 days suggests a critical period where the stock's price does not recover. Although there is a modest increase of 1.8% from days 31 to 60, the overall performance remains negative. Therefore, this strategy is not considered viable for capturing gains in BLBX following earnings declines.
