Post-Earnings Price Action Review
The strategy of buying WEC Energy shares following a quarter-over-quarter revenue increase on the financial report release date and holding for 30 days yielded moderate returns but fell short compared to market performance. With a compound annual growth rate of 0.58%, this strategy lagged behind the benchmark by 84.72%. Despite a maximum drawdown of 0% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.03, indicating minimal risk, the strategy offered conservative returns. It is thus most suited for investors seeking stability and low-risk investment options.
