Why do shares drop on good earnings ?


Jayjay

Recommended Posts

I am following Bohoo and ther shares have been climbing what I want to know is why do the shares drop when the company has just posted double growth over the year profits beat the predicted forecast

Can any one explain this .is it people taking profit now ? You would think that they would go up not down

When the company raised its forecast during the year the shares rose but yet when the actual figures come out and are better than expected they drop

Very confusing .

I am new to this and any info would help

I have also seen this happen with other companies I watch

 

Thanks Jay

Consider the different reasons the share might be held, from the day trader simply holding a momentum move or the longer term investor holding for year on year growth.

With the monumental amout of information available including ongoing investment analysis provided by the broker research and other specialised research houses, there is more than enough current information about companies earnings and expected earnings.

When theses numbers are confirmed in line with a consensus of research there are no surprises and the shorter term trader investor would be looking to take profits and look for other opportunities. This is shown in the day to day movements.

For the longer term holder, the day to day movements are just noise and often disregarded.

The longer term holder is interested in the forward looking commentary from the compaies reporting, should this be positive generally the share price will recover quickly from the short term profit takers as the dip offers a buying opportunity. The longer term ( weekly) trend will remain in tact. However at times forward commentary from the company report can have an immediate negative effect on share prices and price trends can change. The first to sell may be the institutional end of the market as they will sell into strength to get the liquidity required for the volume to be liquidated.
Define where you fit in to this equation and the sell off on the company reporting may present an opportunity increase your position or take profits.

    • Memecoins particularly on Solana and Ton ecosystem have kept the market buzzing for a significant part of the year as traders continue to tilt towards gaining instant and massive gains from trading memecoins against the long term gains they could amass from sustainable projects with real life applications. Interestingly the opportunities this exciting market niche holds keep rolling in with exchanges doing their bit to make it worthwhile for the passionate meme traders. So if you trade top memes like DOGE, PEPE, NEIROCTO, TURBO, WIF, SHIB, and GOAT, Bitget memecoin carnival could be of interest to you. The event slated to run from Nov 4 – Nov 18 2024 promises USDT rewards for meme traders who join, check in daily, and complete simple tasks. Evidently exchanges generate insane trading volumes from the buzzing memecoin community, rewarding meme traders through this event is a win for everyone.
    • Could it be the bustling ecosystem of multi-chain games that makes Arcadia unique? Someone recently tweete “One of the most anticipated games on the $Eth network, Legend of Arcadia, is set to launch its token, $ARCA, on various CEX exchanges” so I wonder if this strategic game could increase gameFi adoption. Legend of Arcadia is not just another card game but a strategic battleground where players collect, raise, and battle with toy-like humanoid creatures, reminiscent of the heroes from classic fantasy RPGs. The game draws inspiration from titles like Hero Wars and AFK Arena, offering a real-time battle system where strategy plays a pivotal role. When we look at other leading games in the Web3 space, like Axie Infinity or Gods Unchained, Legend of Arcadia holds its own by offering a more accessible entry point with its free-to-play model while still maintaining depth through strategic gameplay and economic incentives. It's a game that doesn't just cater to hardcore blockchain gamers but invites casual players into the fold, potentially broadening the appeal of blockchain gaming but why the recent traction to the project? Is obvious to see hype, expectations and speculation toward a project as it approaches listing date. I wonder if this is responsible for the recent traction toward Legend of Arcadia but with poolx and candybomb on Bitget and some exchange that have announced listing, we should expect more exposure for this project
