All measured sympathy peers for AIR
Every peer below passed the gates — enough events, direction consistency well above a coin flip, and a move meaningfully bigger than its normal day. Nobody else publishes this measurement; it exists because EarningsWatcher computes it from every AIR report, with the peer's own earnings days and heavy market days excluded.

Why trade the peer instead of AIR itself?
Options on AIR are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. ET has no event that day: its options are priced for a normal session, and measured across our pairs the median change in peer IV through a reporter's print is roughly zero. The sympathy trade turns AIR's report into a position with a normal-day hurdle instead of an event-premium hurdle. New to the concept?

Frequently asked questions
Which stocks move when AIR reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of AIR's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is ET: same direction as AIR's reaction in 70% of 27 tracked reports, median same-day move ±1.1%.
Are stocks like AIR worth watching on its earnings day?
Sometimes. Sympathy plays work best when the peer shares customers or economics with AIR. AIR's measured peers so far are statistical matches without a confirmed business link, so the edge is weaker: ET moved ±1.1% on AIR's earnings days (×1.4 its normal day), but check what connects the two before trading it. The peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is ET correlated with AIR?
On AIR's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 70% same-direction over 27 events after excluding ET's own earnings window and heavy market days. General day-to-day correlation is a different (weaker) question — the earnings-day link is the tradeable one.
What is a sympathy stock?
A sympathy stock moves on another company's news rather than its own — here, ET reacting to AIR's earnings. EarningsWatcher measures these relationships event by event and gates them for sample size, direction consistency and amplification; see the full guide to sympathy plays.
