All measured sympathy peers for DSGX

Why trade the peer instead of DSGX itself?
Options on DSGX are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. CAVA 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 DSGX'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 DSGX reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of DSGX's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is CAVA: same direction as DSGX's reaction in 70% of 10 tracked reports, median same-day move ±3.0%.
Are stocks like DSGX worth watching on its earnings day?
That is exactly what a sympathy play is: DSGX's report reprices companies with the same customers and economics, so 'stocks like DSGX' often move the same day — without an earnings event of their own. The size is usually smaller than DSGX's own move (CAVA: ±3.0% vs a normal day ×1.7), but the peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is CAVA correlated with DSGX?
On DSGX's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 70% same-direction over 10 events after excluding CAVA'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, CAVA reacting to DSGX'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.
