In early April 2024, Xu Xinyu, an executive director at Ferretti SpA, noticed an SUV and two strange men lingering outside the elegant 18th century palace that houses the Italian luxury yacht maker's Milan offices. On other days, during visits to the Palazzo Parigi Hotel and the Mandarin Oriental, Xu noticed the same individuals again. Soon, he had become convinced he was being followed, according to people familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity in order to discuss confidential matters. Xu, who also sat on the board of Ferretti's majority owners, the Chinese industrial conglomerate Weichai Group, engaged a counter-surveillance firm. During its first sweep on the night of April 3, the security company found a listening device and signal amplifier hidden on Xu's desk. In the offices of the board secretary and the company's Chinese-Italian translator, they uncovered other devices concealed in power outlets.

This would reflect a 17% decrease in earnings year-over-year and a 10% rise in sales compared to the previous year's figures of $2.35 per share and $3.60 billion in revenue. Historically, the CASY stock has dipped 65% of the time after earnings announcements, with a median one-day decline of 2.9% and a maximum drop of 7%. During the third quarter, Casey's reported an 11% year-over-year rise in EBITDA and anticipated similar growth for the entire year. While net income remained unchanged, it would have increased by 15%, excluding one-off expenses from the $1.1 billion acquisition of Fikes Wholesale and its 198 stores. This performance underscores Casey's robust profitability amid the integration of one of its largest acquisitions ever. The company holds a market capitalization of $17 billion. Over the last twelve months, revenue reached $16 billion, and it was operationally profitable with $768 million in operating profits and a net income of $535 million.

CASY 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return A relatively low-risk strategy (though ineffective if the correlation is weak) is to understand the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identify a pair with the highest correlation, and execute the appropriate trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the strongest correlation, a trader can position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on a 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D pertains to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.
