Earnings and price reactions

Event date

Cumulative return from the preceding session’s close. Day 0 is the first session on or after the event; an after-hours release may affect Day +1.

No complete price window for this event date.

How these returns are measured

These observations do not establish causation. Benchmark prices must match both session dates. The next-session change uses the preceding close; the 30-day return starts at the event-session close and rolls forward at most four days. Missing history is not zero. Report dates and accounting bases come from the named provider.

The next date is an estimate. It is not marked confirmed. Company guidance is not stored as its own series, so this page does not quote a guidance number. Transcript highlights appear below only when a call transcript is on file.

Dividends and capital return

Payout status beside the earnings base.

Dividend yield only makes sense next to earnings power. TECHi keeps payout ratio, yield, and ex-date on this page so income investors can read the cash return against EPS.
