Biggest Earnings Surprises
Who beat, who missed — and what the stock did next
Updated June 18, 2026
Every quarter, a handful of companies blow past (or fall well short of) what analysts expected. The surprise itself is only half the story — what matters is whether the market rewarded it. So each row pairs the EPS surprise with how the stock has actually traded since it reported.
That gap is where the edge hides: a genuine beat that keeps drifting higher for weeks is the textbook post-earnings pattern — in our own testing, the biggest beats kept outpacing the market for about three months. A beat that the stock shrugs off, or sells off, is the market telling you the bar was already priced in.
