How each column is worked out, exactly
| Column | What it measures | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Reports | the next scheduled report date and, where known, whether it is before the open or after the close | dates can move |
| Options price in | the at-the-money call and put together on the first expiry after the report, less the normal movement of the quiet days around it, as a share of the stock price; shown only when that expiry is within a week of the report | a bigger number means options expect a bigger move |
| Usually moves | the average size, ignoring direction, of the one-day price move after the last 12 reports, with the median | a description of the past |
| Priced vs usual | the priced move divided by the average move | 1.2x to 2x is the usual premium; 2x or more is far above history |
| Beat record | in the last eight reports, how many had earnings per share above the analyst estimate | a beat and a price rise are different things |
| F-Score | Piotroski's nine tests on the latest 10-K, with the score a year earlier | 8 or 9 is his strong group, 3 or less the weak one |
| Short interest | shares sold short as a share of the float, and the days of normal volume needed to buy them back | published twice a month, so it can be two weeks old |
- Why a ratio and not a difference? A 2-point gap is large for a stock that usually moves 2% and small for one that usually moves 12%. Dividing puts them on one scale.
- Options usually price a premium. Across the stocks tracked here the median ratio is typically 1.4x to 1.7x, so a ratio near 1 is rare. See implied earnings move in the glossary and the options flow page.
The full history behind each average is on the Earnings Moves Screener.
What this can't do
- It does not forecast the move or its direction. A stock can move far more or far less than its history or its options imply, up or down.
- Dates can change. The calendar is refreshed weekly and companies confirm dates close to the report.
- Options data is delayed and comes from an unofficial public feed, so a quote can be hours old or missing.
- A high ratio is not a bargain or a warning. It says options charge more than the past average, which they usually do.
- Short interest lags. It is published twice a month with a delay, so it can be two weeks behind.

Which Options Price
Furthest From History?
Options charge more than a stock has typically moved, but not evenly. These are the reports where the move priced in sits furthest above, and least above, the stock's own average. It describes pricing, not what happens next.
Priced furthest above history
Options expect a much bigger move than the stock has usually made.

Frequently asked questions
What does the priced-versus-usual ratio mean?
It is the move options price in for the report divided by the stock's average one-day move after its last 12 reports. A ratio of 1.5x means options price one and a half times the typical past move. Options usually carry a premium, so the middle of the range is 1.2x to 2x; 2x or more means they price far above its history, and under 1.2x means little above it.
Why do some reporting stocks show no priced move?
The priced move is shown only when the options chain has an expiry within a week after the report. An expiry weeks later mostly prices ordinary movement, not the report, so no figure is shown. Some stocks also have no listed options.
Can the earnings dates change?
Yes. Dates come from a weekly calendar and companies confirm or move them close to the report. Treat a date more than a few days away as an estimate and check the company's own investor relations page.
Is this a forecast of the earnings move?
No. It sets the past beside what options charge today. A stock can move far more or far less than either, and the page does not say which direction. It is educational, not investment advice.
Which stocks report earnings this week? About this preview
This earnings preview lists the stocks reporting in the next days or weeks and sets each beside its average earnings move, the move options price in, the EPS beat record, the Piotroski F-Score and the short interest. It describes pricing and history; it does not forecast the move. Next, run a name through the Earnings Moves Screener, check the options flow or the short interest screener.
Educational content only, not investment advice. These are screens built from public filings, not verdicts: a high score does not make a stock safe, and a low one does not make it a bad investment.
