A file of dates
Yesterday NVIDIA reported quarterly EPS of $2.22, beating the $2.09 consensus, on revenue of $96.22 billion that also came in ahead of estimates. Once a beat is confirmed, the market's most natural question is what the stock has typically done after NVIDIA beat expectations in the past.

An earnings beat is not a continuous indicator. Moving averages and sentiment gauges produce a reading every day, so a threshold crossing is easy to define. Earnings come four times a year, and the workable approach is to collect the dates on which actual EPS exceeded the consensus.
SentimenTrader's User Defined Dates in Backtest Engine is built for exactly this kind of research. In fact, the data analysis in some of our past reports was based on this feature. Readers so inclined can run a similar event-date study on other stocks
