This article looks at some of the big movers off the back of recent earnings announcements, as we try to find stocks that provide potential trading opportunities.

Typically, earnings announcements and trading statements will drive a shift or enhancement of market sentiment. While many see earnings as a significant risk when holding a stock, placing trades in the wake of such events allows for greater confidence that all market knowledge has been factored into current prices.

Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic enjoyed a rare boost in the early part of the week, following an earnings report that saw the space tourism firm post better-than-expected revenues and plans for their first commercial flight in the quarter four (Q4) 2022. \

Nonetheless, we saw the negative sentiment return once again in the following days, with the weekly candle largely flat as we head towards the weekend.

However, it is worthwhile noting that this positive news came as price reached a crucial area of support, with an ascending trendline coming into play in late-October. A break below trendline and $14.35 would largely negate the bullish trend in place over the course of the past two years.

With that in mind, this could be an opportune moment for the bulls to come back into play. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but the risk-to-reward perspective certainly looks appealing if we can remain above $14.35.

As such, watch out for a potential rebound from here, with a push above $24.41 bringing greater confidence for the bulls. Until then, the bearish trend does still remain intact.

Walt Disney

Walt Disney shares have been hit hard over the course of the week, with worries over Disney+ subscriber numbers overshadowing improvements in Covid-affected areas of the business such as parks and hotels.

This has taken price back down into the $158.50 support level, with a break below that point likely to bring another leg lower for the stock.

For now, we are yet to see a bullish reversal sign despite the long-term uptrend that would ultimately favour such a position. A break up through $179.23 would bring an end to this bearish phase, but we remain at risk of further weakness until such a break occurs.

Eastman Kodak

Shares in Eastman Kodak have been somewhat drab of late, with price treading water for months now.

However, this week saw them post both $8 million net income and profits of 6c per share that could help lift sentiment. Price action appears to have been forming a basing pattern over recent months, but there is a good chance we see price break higher before too long.

A rise up through the $7.44 and $7.82 levels would bring greater confidence of such a breakout, with investors hoping to see another run higher after a period of low volatility.

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
