Measure earnings impact precisely
Turn post-earnings volatility into clean percentage math.
What is a earnings move?
Measure event impact by comparing stock price immediately before and after earnings release. In practice, this means you can quantify earnings move using pre-earnings price, and post-earnings price without relying on hidden assumptions or black-box scoring.
Primary input set for this calculator: Pre-earnings price, Post-earnings price.
How to calculate earnings move

- 2.Step 2: Enter post-earnings price with the timeframe/context you want to evaluate.
- 3.Step 3: Apply formula Earnings Move % = ((Post-Earnings Price - Pre-Earnings Price) / Pre-Earnings Price) × 100.
- 4.Step 4: Interpret output together with risk, liquidity, and catalyst context.
Why this metric matters
This metric standardizes raw price action so you can compare moves across different tickers, sessions, and catalyst windows.
Pair this calculator with catalyst context from headlines, filings, and options flow to avoid relying on isolated numbers.
When to use this calculator
- ✓Before opening a new position where earnings move impacts sizing or risk.
- ✓After a catalyst to quantify how much conditions changed versus your baseline.
- ✓When comparing setups across multiple tickers with one consistent formula.
- ✓During weekly review to keep decision-making tied to measurable inputs.

Interpretation tips
- •Re-run earnings move whenever key inputs change materially, not only when price moves.
- •Document assumptions so the same methodology can be repeated across watchlist names.
- •Use this metric as one layer in the decision stack, not as a standalone trade trigger.
