GE raises guidance but stock drops anyway — short the post-earnings disappointme
Created
Thesis
When a company raises its profit outlook and still gets sold off, it tells you the stock had climbed so high that even good news was a disappointment. GE Aerospace's order book, while still growing, is no longer accelerating — and a decelerating growth rate is kryptonite for a stock priced for perfection. The market is signaling that expectations got ahead of reality, and traders who chase the dip may find there is no dip to catch until the price adjusts to a more sober growth picture.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters short GE on D1 when the stock declines >2% on an earnings day despite a positive EPS or revenue surprise, holding for 10 trading days with a 4% stop-loss above entry.
