72757293 : buy after the earnings. therefore you eliminate all the hype.
71482208 : I think Amazon will knock their earnings out the park. They've had back to back record breaking prime days and the retail numbers came in more than double what was forecasted. Google and Meta also look strong for this quarter. So I definitely see a pop this week.
103997262 : yes
102362254 : I prefer to buy a stock before earnings report. This way I can capture the potential upside if the company beats expectations and the stock price rises. But this strategy will expose me to the downside risk if the company misses estimates and the stock price drops. No risk, no gain.
102813028 : If you are an aggressive trader, buy before a stock's earnings announcement to profit if actual results beat estimates or risk cutting losses if results underperform. For conservative traders, buy after a stock's earnings announcement to minimise risk in trading the stock.
For investors, as long as the stock fundamentals are good, enter the stock when technicals are favourable and hold for the long term to profit since stocks tend to go up in price over time.
凡q 71482208 : Your observation is very accurate. Amazon performed well in recent reports, with total net sales of $1273.58 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 9% year-on-year, and an operating profit of $47.74 billion, up 30% year-on-year, and a net profit of $31.72 billion. This is a significant improvement since they were actually at a loss over the same period last year.
A1broker : most investors worries? If yes ? Now the time to buy in !!!
ZnWC : For a person who take long position, the most important is the company's fundamental and earnings are one of the investment data to look at.
Usually prior to the earnings announcement, you can see forecast of analysts predicting the estimates or expectations for profit indicators like revenue, net income, earning per share etc. The estimate consensus is adjusted when more data like sales is released. Hence you make a decision to invest before the earnings.
Beside earnings, I invest in the company based on value and growth potential of the stock for long term. Hence I usually DCA the stock over a period of time to avoid emotional trading - FOMO buy and panic sell. Having said the above, earnings may be a good opportunity for me to buy options when the share price become volatile - bearish or bullish in short term (assuming the company remains fundamentally healthy). It is always a good practice to set stop loss in case a black swan event motion occurs.

HuatLady : I will prefer to buy stocks post earnings because long term investments are more hassle free. I rather play mahjong

then to spend my precious time monitoring the stocks closely, hehe.
