Beat earnings and dropped anyway

Companies that reported earnings ABOVE the analyst estimate and whose shares fell at least 5% anyway, measured as the two-session move spanning the report date. A beat followed by a fall is not unusual on its own — it happens to nearly half of all beats — so this screen requires a material drop rather than any drop at all. The window is the two sessions spanning the report date, because filings carry a date and not a time — a company that reports before the open moves that day, one that reports after the close moves the next. It is a record of what happened, not a judgement of the result. Earnings figures come from analyst-estimate data; report dates are established from the company’s own SEC filings, and a quarter whose filing we do not hold is left out rather than guessed at.

40 covered companies were left out of this ranking because their last price predates 2026-09-28 (APGE, ATAI, AVB, CBC, CCRN, CPRX, CRNX, EA, ECHO, EEX, ESPR, FBRX, and 28 more), more than 3 trading sessions behind the 2026-10-01 price the rest of the catalog carries. The reaction here is measured from two closing prices around the report date, so a company whose price series stopped updating would show a move that is no longer its most recent one. Those companies keep the price on their own page, with their own as-of date.

Ranked by reaction, THRYV HOLDINGS INC (THRY) leads the covered catalog at -42.6%.
