PEAD

PEAD stands for post-earnings announcement drift: after a company reports a surprise, the stock tends to keep moving in the direction of that surprise for days or even weeks. The PEAD view collects the names where that drift is setting up so you don't have to hunt for them.

The PEAD view surfaces stocks drifting after an earnings surprise.

Why drift happens

A big earnings beat or miss isn't priced in all at once. Estimates take time to catch up, funds rebalance over several sessions, and the move plays out gradually. That lag is the drift, and it's one of the more durable patterns in the market.

What the view shows

Each entry is a stock that recently reported and is now trending in the direction of its surprise. You'll see the ticker, the size and direction of the beat or miss, and how the price has behaved since the report. A strong upside surprise with the stock grinding higher is the classic long setup; the reverse holds for a miss.

This pairs naturally with the earnings work elsewhere on the platform. For the underlying numbers and the beat-versus-estimate detail, see Earnings beats & misses.

Using it

Drift is a tendency, not a rule. Some names reverse hard, and a stock that has already run a long way may have little left. Treat the list as a shortlist of candidates, check where each one sits in its move, and confirm the read against the rest of the event flow before you act.
