SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 20: A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 airplane approaches San Diego ... More International Airport for a landing from Oakland on April 20, 2025 in San Diego, California. (Photo by) Southwest Airlines is set to publish its earnings report on Thursday, April 24, 2025. The company currently has a market capitalization of $15 billion. Over the last twelve months, Southwest recorded $27 billion in revenue, delivered $321 million in operating profit, and posted a net income of $465 million. Looking ahead, consensus forecasts call for a loss of $0.19 per share on $6.4 billion in sales for the next report. This is compared with a loss of $0.36 per share on $6.33 billion in sales in the same period a year ago. For event-driven traders, grasping historical post-earnings stock movements can be valuable, irrespective of how the upcoming results and outlook affect the share price. This analysis presents two potential strategies: Over the past five years, Southwest has posted a negative one-day return after earnings in 70% of cases. The median decline in these instances was –2.7%, while the largest single-day drop reached –8.9%.

LUV 1D, 5D, and 21D post-earnings returns An arguably less risky approach (though not effective if correlations are low) is to analyze the relationship between short-term and medium-term post-earnings returns, identify the pair with the strongest correlation, and apply the corresponding trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D returns exhibit the highest correlation, a trader might go 'long' for five days following a positive 1D post-earnings return. Below is some correlation data based on both five-year and three-year (more recent) histories. Note that '1D_5D' denotes the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.

UAL Earnings Preview: Will The Stock Take Off Or Face Turbulence?
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 8: An United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplane approaches San Diego ... More International Airport for a landing from San Francisco with high rises in the background on April 8, 2025 in San Diego, California. (Photo by) United Airlines is set to report earnings on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Over the last five years, the stock has declined in 60% of the instances on the day following earnings announcements, with a median loss of 4.4% and a maximum one-day decline reaching 10%. While these figures may seem discouraging, there are several reasons to maintain a positive outlook on UAL currently. These include the ongoing rebound in corporate travel and the stock's appealing valuation. UAL has recently shown solid performance, driven by growth in flight capacity and higher passenger revenue per available seat mile. Moreover, declining fuel costs have supported improved profitability. This momentum is expected to extend into the first quarter. For Q1 2025, consensus estimates project earnings of $0.74 per share on revenue of $13.2 billion, a marked improvement from Q1 2024, which reported a loss of $0.15 per share on $12.5 billion in revenue. The company currently holds a market capitalization of $21 billion. Over the last twelve months, it recorded $57 billion in revenue, $5.2 billion in operating profit, and $3.1 billion in net income. While post-earnings movements will depend on how the results compare with investor expectations, analyzing historical performance can help guide event-driven trading. Investors might consider evaluating the odds and positioning ahead of the report, or examining return correlations to act a day post-announcement. Alternatively, if you're looking for returns with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio offers a compelling option — having outperformed the S&P 500 with returns exceeding 91% since launch.

UAL observed 1D, 5D, and 21D returns post earnings A relatively lower-risk strategy (assuming high correlation) is to evaluate the relationship between short- and medium-term returns post earnings, identify the pair with the highest correlation, and trade accordingly. For example, if 1D and 5D are strongly correlated, a trader could go long for 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year histories.
