Post-Earnings Price Action Review
The strategy of buying Q2 Holdings (QTWO) shares after a revenue raise quarter-over-quarter on the financial report release date and holding for 30 days yielded a 3.73% return over the past five years. However, this performance was significantly underwhelming compared to the benchmark's 84.08% return. The strategy's Sharpe ratio was low at 0.11, indicating poor risk-adjusted returns, and it experienced a maximum drawdown of -9.96%, highlighting its high risk. With a volatility of 6.79% and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.74%, the strategy demonstrated modest returns and high risk, underscoring the challenges of market timing and the inherent risk of relying solely on revenue-based strategies.
