Post-Earnings Announcement Drift

Beating the Estimate Is Not Beating Expectations

In 1968, Ray Ball and Philip Brown found that stocks keep moving in the direction of an earnings surprise after the news is already public. Six decades later it still happens — but the reason it is hard to see is the yardstick. Measured against the published consensus, a beat is a beat. Measured against what investors actually expected, the same report can be a disappointment, and the stock spends the next week telling you so.

Earnings Preview

NU Nu is confirmed to report Thursday, November 12, after the close.

Nu Holdings Faces a Profitability Test as Shares Slide Toward Their Post-Earnings Lows

Nu Holdings heads into its third-quarter report with a split that will be hard to ignore. Wall Street still expects one of the fastest growth rates in global banking, yet the stock has lost about a quarter of its value since the last report. Shareholders want to know whether that selloff reflects something visible in the numbers or simply a market that has stopped paying up for growth. The answer will come after the close on November 12.

The consensus calls for earnings of $0.22 a share on revenue of about $5.70 billion. That would mean revenue up roughly 37% from the $4.17 billion reported a year ago and earnings up about 29% from $0.17. By any standard, that is strong growth. The more telling comparison is sequential. Revenue is expected to rise only modestly from the prior quarter's $5.51 billion, and earnings are projected to be flat at $0.22. In other words, analysts expect the top line to keep compounding while profit per share stalls for a quarter. The whisper number of $0.24 sits a couple of cents above consensus. That suggests the more engaged part of the market thinks Nu can turn more of that revenue growth into profit than the published estimates assume.

Big Tech and the Power Grid Steal the Spotlight as Earnings Season Heats Up

November 7, 2026

This is one of those weeks where the market's biggest obsessions all step up to the microphone at once. The old guard of technology is leading the charge, and the mood here is cautiously upbeat. Cisco, Applied Materials, and chip-tool maker Onto Innovation all head into their reports with the wind at their backs, riding business trends that have been quietly improving quarter after quarter. Keep an eye on the energy-and-power complex too, where Constellation Energy and NRG Energy have become the unlikely darlings of the artificial intelligence boom, since all those data centers need somewhere to plug in. On the flip side, a cluster of the market's flashiest storylines looks shakier than the headlines suggest. CoreWeave and Nebius, the darlings of the AI infrastructure gold rush, are walking in with investors feeling distinctly nervous, and the crowd of speculative names from quantum computing outfits to space and rocket companies carries a similar cloud of doubt. When expectations run this hot, even a solid report can leave traders disappointed.
