Why earnings matter
Investors should place a high priority on company earnings reports.
That's because earnings reports reveal the ingredients needed to generate a company's profits,
which usually leads to a higher stock price.

Usually, we pay attention to a company's short-term performances but need to weigh them in a
longer-term context.
longer-term context.
Do earnings Beats/Misses matter?
Generally speaking, an earnings report is a short-term stock price catalyst. Beating the expectation could lead to stock rising in most cases because it's a sign of strong operating performance.
However, it's important to note that stock price fluctuations can be based on a variety of
factors, many of which go beyond earnings reports. An earnings beat doesn't always mean shares will rise, just as a miss doesn't always imply shares will fall.

Sometimes, other information released alongside earnings could result in a stock moving in a the direction that wasn't expected.
In Nvidia's case, core operating indicators and industry momentum are critical to its stock price surging.
Selecting a good stock with fair prices is never easy. That's why we need to do financial analysis and find clues of the company's operations.

HopeAlways : I find the moomoo courses to be very beneficial to help investors like myself with using fundamental analysis to analyse stocks like $Apple (AAPL.US)$, $Bank of America (BAC.US)$, $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ to find good investment opportunities for my stock portfolio. By having access to important financial ratios like EPS, ROA, ROE and debt-to equity ratio, I would be in a better position to assess the financial health of the companies I am interested to invest in. When using fundamental analysis to research stocks, I could rely on some important metrics like P/E ratio, PEG ratio and P/B ratio to identify stocks trading for a discount to their intrinsic value, which would help me to be in a better position to capture reasonable returns in the long term. Thanks @moomoo Courses once again for having such informative and useful courses for mooers.![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
