Was PTCT'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.

PTCT Earnings FAQ

Answers computed from PTC THERAPEUTICS, INC.'s reported history

PTCT is scheduled to report on Oct 22, 2026, after the market closes. Analysts expect EPS of $0.45.

Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, PTCT beat the consensus estimate 7 times (58%), missed 5 and landed in line 0. It has beaten estimates in each of the last 2 counted quarters.

Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, PTCT moved an average of ±9.8% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 67% of the time; the largest gain was 14.3% and the largest drop -22.7%.

PTCT fell in the first session after 2 of its last 7 EPS beats (29%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower.

Across its last 12 quarters with price data, PTCT moved an average of -0.8% 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 20% of the time, averaging +1.8%. After a drop of 3% or more (5 quarters), it rose the next day 80% of the time, averaging +6.0%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.

In 12 reports PTCT opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 5 of 12 times (42%), and fully reversed 3 times. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.

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.
