All measured sympathy peers for POWW

Nobody else publishes this measurement; it exists because EarningsWatcher computes it from every POWW report, with the peer's own earnings days and heavy market days excluded.

Why trade the peer instead of POWW itself?
Options on POWW are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. OPEN 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 POWW's report into a position with a normal-day hurdle instead of an event-premium hurdle. New to the concept? Read what a sympathy play is, then see this week's live board.
Frequently asked questions
Which stocks move when POWW reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of POWW's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is OPEN: same direction as POWW's reaction in 83% of 18 tracked reports, median same-day move ±4.4%. Other quality-gated peers: SOUN — their full statistics are on the member board.
Are stocks like POWW worth watching on its earnings day?
Sometimes. Sympathy plays work best when the peer shares customers or economics with POWW. POWW's measured peers so far are statistical matches without a confirmed business link, so the edge is weaker: OPEN moved ±4.4% on POWW's earnings days (×1.3 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 OPEN correlated with POWW?
On POWW's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 83% same-direction over 18 events after excluding OPEN'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, OPEN reacting to POWW'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.
