Dow Member Earnings Reports
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 12:49PM All 30 Dow stocks will report earnings by May 20th, and below we highlight just a few of their earnings statistics that Bespoke Premium members have access to for all US stocks. For each stock, we highlight its expected report date, its EPS estimate for the current quarter, the 4-week change in that estimate, the percentage of the time it has beaten EPS estimates since 2001, and the average 1-day percent change in response to earnings since 2001. Premium subscribers arm themselves with this data for stocks they own in order to be prepared on report days. Knowing how stocks typically report or how they react to good or bad reports gives users a one up on other investors.
We highlighted in green those Dow stocks that have beaten quarterly estimates more than 80% of the time since 2001. Stocks highlighted in red have beaten estimates less than 50% of the time. GE and MCD have the lowest EPS "beat" rates, but they generally report right inline with estimates. In the Dow, JNJ and UTX both have EPS "beat" rates above 90%, and they have also averaged gains on the first trading day following their reports. UTX averages the best returns on report days, while INTC averages the biggest declines.
As we mentioned earlier, Bespoke Premium members have access to a full calendar of stocks expected to report in the coming weeks. Along with this info, the calendar gives the percent of the time the stock beats revenues, the percent of the time it raises guidance, and the average gap and open to close changes on report days. Members also have the ability to sort the calendar of more than 2,000 stocks to find ones that beat or miss estimates or go up or down the most on earnings.
