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

Why trade the peer instead of STZ itself?
Options on STZ are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. BAC 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 STZ'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 STZ reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of STZ's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is BAC: same direction as STZ's reaction in 69% of 35 tracked reports, median same-day move ±1.0%.
Are stocks like STZ worth watching on its earnings day?
That is exactly what a sympathy play is: STZ's report reprices companies with the same customers and economics, so 'stocks like STZ' often move the same day — without an earnings event of their own. The size is usually smaller than STZ's own move (BAC: ±1.0% vs a normal day ×1.3), but the peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is BAC correlated with STZ?
On STZ's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 69% same-direction over 35 events after excluding BAC'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, BAC reacting to STZ'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.
