Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, CHD beat the consensus estimate 9 times (75%), missed 1 and landed in line 2.
Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, CHD moved an average of ±3.1% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 42% of the time; the largest gain was 7.2% and the largest drop -7.0%.
Options currently price a move of about ±4.0% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 1.28x its average historical move of ±3.1%, so options look expensive relative to history.
CHD fell in the first session after 5 of its last 9 EPS beats (56%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower.
Across its last 12 quarters with price data, CHD moved an average of +0.2% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 58% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (4 quarters), it fell the next day 75% of the time, averaging +0.2%. After a drop of 3% or more (4 quarters), it rose the next day 50% of the time, averaging -0.3%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.
In 8 reports CHD opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 3 of 8 times (38%), and fully reversed 2 times. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.
