Was PPL'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.

PPL Earnings FAQ
Answers computed from PPL Corporation's reported history
PPL is scheduled to report on Oct 29, 2026, usually before the market opens. Analysts expect EPS of $0.53.
Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, PPL beat the consensus estimate 7 times (58%), missed 4 and landed in line 1.
Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, PPL moved an average of ±1.4% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 67% of the time; the largest gain was 2.4% and the largest drop -3.1%.
Options currently price a move of about ±3.8% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 2.82x its average historical move of ±1.4%, so options look expensive relative to history.
PPL fell in the first session after 1 of its last 7 EPS beats (14%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower.
Across its last 12 quarters with price data, PPL moved an average of +1.6% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 50% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (4 quarters), it fell the next day 50% of the time, averaging +0.3%. 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.
