All measured sympathy peers for HPE
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 HPE report, with the peer's own earnings days and heavy market days excluded.

Why trade the peer instead of HPE itself?
Options on HPE are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. RDDT 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 HPE'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 HPE reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of HPE's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is RDDT: same direction as HPE's reaction in 67% of 9 tracked reports, median same-day move ±5.1%.
Are stocks like HPE worth watching on its earnings day?
That is exactly what a sympathy play is: HPE's report reprices companies with the same customers and economics, so 'stocks like HPE' often move the same day — without an earnings event of their own. The size is usually smaller than HPE's own move (RDDT: ±5.1% vs a normal day ×2.0), but the peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is RDDT correlated with HPE?
On HPE's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 67% same-direction over 9 events after excluding RDDT'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, RDDT reacting to HPE'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.
