HealthEquity (NASDAQ:HQY), a custodian for health savings accounts, is set to announce its earnings on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. Historically, the stock has demonstrated a strong likelihood of positive returns following its earnings announcements. Over the last five years, HQY has experienced a positive one-day return after earnings in 70% of cases, with a median increase of 3.4% and a peak one-day rise of 11.6%.
For traders focused on events, understanding these historical trends can be beneficial, although actual results will significantly impact stock performance. There are two main strategies to consider:
Analysts expect HealthEquity to report earnings of $0.81 per share on revenue of $322 million. This is an increase compared to the previous year's quarter, which recorded earnings of $0.80 per share on revenue of $288 million. From a fundamental view, HealthEquity currently boasts a market capitalization of $8.7 billion. Over the past twelve months, the company generated $1.2 billion in revenue and was operationally profitable, reporting $203 million in operating profits and a net income of $97 million. Therefore, if you are looking for growth with lower volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative—having outperformed the S&P 500 and delivering returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

Some insights on one-day (1D) post-earnings returns:
Additional data for 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns observed post-earnings are summarized along with the statistics in the table below.
HQY 1D, 5D, and 21D Post-Earnings Return
A relatively less risky strategy (although not effective if the correlation is low) involves understanding the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identifying a pair with the highest correlation, and executing the appropriate trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the highest correlation, a trader can take a 'long' position for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns.

Can Applied Digital Stock Reach $18? Here's What This Analyst Expects

Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) shares kicked off the week in spectacular fashion, with shares soaring 48% on Monday after announcing two major lease deals. Confident Investing Starts Here: The company signed a pair of approximately 15-year agreements with CoreWeave, a cloud infrastructure provider specializing in high-performance computing and AI workloads. Under the agreements, Applied Digital will provide 250 megawatts (MW) of critical IT capacity at its data center campus in Ellendale, North Dakota, to support CoreWeave's AI and HPC (high-performance computing) operations. The company expects to earn roughly $7 billion in revenue from these leases over their duration. Citizens JMP analyst Greg P. Miller thinks it's no wonder the stock surged to such an extent. 'With 30%+ short interest, a big cash burn before this, and a team that has twice before failed to close a pending deal, we were not surprised to see the stock up 50% on the news,' Miller said. 'We expect this momentum to continue.' Applied Digital began as a cryptocurrency mining hosting provider and continues to support Bitcoin mining operations. However, the company has strategically shifted its focus toward HPC and AI infrastructure. Miller has previously talked of the opportunity available for blockchain-focused companies to pivot toward providing more space and power for data centers, especially given a looming power shortage. Therefore, Miller sees the deal as a 'true watershed event' for the company, even though it wasn't the industry-defining moment he initially anticipated – namely, a deal with a major hyperscaler. The analyst had expected the agreement to involve a large player like Amazon or Meta but that ultimately wasn't the case. 'In our view,' Miller went on to add, 'that would have opened the door for others and the whole group would be off to the races; however, this deal is very APLD specific.' There's not much dilution involved here. The company issued $13 million in warrants, equal to about 5% of shares outstanding, with a strike price of $7.19. There's potential for another 3% in warrants if the final 150 MW of capacity is contracted, with the strike price to be set later. Assuming the company eventually sells all of its available capacity, the total impact on valuation would be dilution of $0.71 per share. Despite the huge surge, Miller points out that with the stock still trading at under 10 times its projected EBITDA for fiscal 2028 (which essentially reflects calendar year 2027), its valuation 'remains attractive.' Accordingly, Miller assigns an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating to APLD shares, while lifting his price target from $12 to $18. The new figure makes room for additional 12-month gains of ~76%. (To watch Miller's track record, click here) Overall, APLD stock has a full house of Buys – eight in total – from Wall Street analysts, resulting in a Strong Buy consensus rating. However, the average price target stands at $10.50, suggesting limited upside from current levels.
