Past earnings scorecard: expected vs actual

No complete scorecard record yet. A report is graded once both the pre-report expected move and the post-report regular-session closes are recorded.

How to read these numbers

Expected move: The size the options market priced for the stock’s move around the report. It carries no direction.
Actual move: Before-the-open reports: prior close → report-day close. After-the-close reports: report-day close → next session close. Extended-hours prices are not used.
Within · outside range: If the absolute actual move is larger than the pre-report expected move, it is outside the range; equal or smaller is within. Frequent misses only mean options often priced a smaller reaction — they do not tell you the next result.
