Stocks tend to be most volatile around earnings season, when a good or bad report can make or break it. However, a good or even great earnings report doesn't necessarily translate into a huge pop for a stock.
Each earnings season, BullMarket.com publishes a comprehensive 20- to 30-page report each Friday during earnings season.
Over the past year, BullMarket.com used the data it has collected to correctly predict investor reactions for approximately two-third of the stocks it's previewed.
In its latest earnings preview, BullMarket.com looks at several popular stocks still set to report earnings, including Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq: GMCR - News), Deckers Outdoor (Nasdaq: DECK - News), Akamai (Nasdaq: AKAM - News), and Baidu.com (Nasdaq: BIDU - News).
Here is just a tiny sample of what BullMarket.com wrote about Baidu: "Baidu has topped analyst EPS estimates each quarter over the past two years. During that span, the stock has risen the next session six of eight quarters. Seasonally, the stock has risen two of the past four years. ...
"Outside of earnings, Baidu shares have fallen due to several reasons: fears of a slowdown in China; the Chinese government calling for Internet companies to "strengthen management of information publication;" reports that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating accounting irregularities of several U.S. listed Chinese firms; and attacks from China's state television channel CCTV, which has questioned the quality of Baidu's paid advertisements (note CCTV has done this several times over the years). Assuming there is no fraud or that the government won't crack down on the company, Baidu still has some of the best growth prospects of any company in the world, as it has the dominant search position in a rapidly growing Chinese Internet market. ..." The full BullMarket.com earnings analysis includes a look at historical earnings data and EPS trends for the companies above and more; examines past investor reactions to earnings in various contexts; gives options activity analysis; reviews previous-quarter earnings; and gives an opinion on both what earnings will look like and how investors will react based on the aforementioned data points.
Just a few of the correct calls BullMarket.com made for Q3 so far were: to be bullish on F5 Networks (Nasdaq: FFIV - News) ahead of earnings. to be bullish on Panera Bread (Nasdaq: PNRA - News) ahead of earnings. to be bullish on Google (Nasdaq: GOOG - News) ahead of earnings. to expect a bearish investor reaction to Netflix's (Nasdaq: NFLX - News) earnings. to be bullish on Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - News) ahead of earnings.
