Post-Earnings Price Action Review
The strategy of purchasing FST (KBSX) shares on the day of earnings report releases and holding them for 30 days resulted in a 7.67% annualized return over the past five years. This performance, though positive, slightly underperformed the broader market by 0.97 percentage points. The data suggests that while the strategy has been beneficial, it hasn't fully captured the broader market trends during this period. This outcome underscores the need for investors to consider a diversified approach when aiming to maximize their returns. The modest performance relative to the market indicates that a more dynamic strategy may be necessary to align with prevailing market conditions and optimize investment outcomes.
