| Title: | Earnings Surprises and the Options Market |

| Abstract: | Numerous articles over the past few decades have documented a consistent
relationship between earnings surprises and subsequent stock price
performance. [See, for example, Ball and Brown (1968), Rendleman, Jones,
and Latane (1982), Foster, Olsen, and Shevlin (1984), and Bernard and
Thomas (1989).] Specifically when firms announce quarterly earnings
figures that are higher (lower) than market expectations, as proxied by
either mechanical time-series models or commercially available
analysts’ forecasts, the stock price performance following the
announcement tends to be abnormally good (bad). This phenomenon is
referred to as post-earnings-announcement drift or the standardized
unexpected earnings effect, SUE for short. |
