Rolling into the next round of earnings reports, investors and analysts will be intently monitoring actual reported numbers. Often times, analysts will update estimates as the earnings date nears. Even the slightest estimate adjustments can be a big deal to investors closely following the company. For long-term investors, the most recent quarterly numbers might not seem like a huge deal. However, if the stock hasn’t been performing up to expectations recently, investors may want to do a little more research on the stock to make sure they know what is going on. Trading around earnings announcements can be a tricky endeavor. Inexperienced traders may choose to stay on the sidelines until after the dust has settled. Large differences or surprises that are seen when actuals land far away from what analysts had projected may cause short-term volatility in the stock price. Even if investors and traders are convinced that the company will easily beat estimates, this may not mean that the stock price is going to absolutely reflect the beat. Traders might be a little more cautious when attempting to capitalize on increased volatility that typically accompanies earnings releases.
