Post Earnings Price Action Review A strategy of buying
shares following a revenue increase quarter-over-quarter and holding for 30 days has underperformed over the past three years. This approach has resulted in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.00% and an excess return of -57.31%, significantly lagging behind the benchmark. The strategy showed no volatility and no maximum drawdown, suggesting a risk-free but unprofitable investment approach. This indicates that post-earnings momentum may not be a reliable indicator for short-term gains in this stock.
