"Options priced" is the implied move going into the report; "close" and "peak" are the earnings-day close-to-close and peak intraday moves. "Faded" = the close gave back more than half of the peak, or reversed sign. Full implied-vs-actual history and the live implied move: BB data page. What happens before the print — IV ramp and what options price: BB stock before earnings.
Whether BB follows through in the days after the print, how often its opening gap gets filled, and how strong its post-earnings drift runs are what DriftLab measures across every past report — the follow-through score, gap-fill probability and PEAD score for BB, plus each report's five-day reaction path. Those readings are for members.
Why "good earnings" can still mean a red day
Before the report, options price the size of the expected move — the implied move — and the stock itself is priced for the market's expectations of results and guidance. The reaction is not to the numbers in isolation but to how they compare with what was already priced. That is why BB can beat estimates and fall, or miss and rise; and why the honest question is not "were the numbers good?" but "how far did the stock move against what options priced, and did it hold?" — which is what the season tracker follows for every notable name.
Frequently asked questions
Will BB stock go up after earnings?
Nobody can know in advance. What history says: over 17 tracked reports BlackBerry closed higher on earnings day 10 times and lower 7 times, with an average close move of ±9.6%. The options market prices the expected size of the move, not its direction.
Why does BB stock drop (or jump) after earnings even on good numbers?
Because the stock is priced for expectations, not results. Options price a move of a certain size beforehand; the reaction reflects how results and guidance compare with what was already priced in, plus the unwinding of positioning around the event. A beat can still be a disappointment relative to expectations.
