Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The strategy of buying CBAT shares on earnings announcements showed mixed performance over three years. A 15.26% gain in 2023 followed optimism about future prospects, but subsequent years saw flat returns. Market conditions, including trends, sentiment, and industry dynamics, likely influenced the volatility.
