Was CMTL's earnings move already priced in?
Stocks often move in the weeks before a report. This compares that run-up with what happened after the report.
“Month before” is the move over the 20 trading days up to the last close before the report. “Priced in” means the good news may already be in the price. A run-up of 5% or more is treated as large.

Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, CMTL moved an average of ±28.0% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 25% of the time; the largest gain was 87.6% and the largest drop -43.3%.
CMTL fell in the first session after 5 of its last 7 EPS beats (71%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower. In 4 of the 5 of those falls where price data is available, the stock had already risen before the report.
Across its last 12 quarters with price data, CMTL moved an average of +4.2% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 50% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (5 quarters), it fell the next day 80% of the time, averaging -6.4%. After a drop of 3% or more (5 quarters), it rose the next day 20% of the time, averaging -7.5%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.

How we calculate these numbers
Reported EPS and estimates come from Yahoo Finance; report times, upcoming dates and revenue come from Finnhub. The 1-day move is the close-to-close change over the first session that reflects the report (the report-day close for after-close reports, the prior close for pre-market reports); reactions are left blank when the report time is unknown or looks inconsistent. The expected move is the price of the nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report divided by the share price, shown only when the quotes are liquid. Quarters where the two data sources disagree on beat versus miss are shown but never counted. Information only, not investment advice.
