We now look ahead to other sectors and industries for a pulse on the business environment. A consumer stock, a domestic utility company, and a well-known materials name all feature key corporate events that are likely to drive share price volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Earnings Outliers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PriceSmart, Inc (PSMT)&nbsp;<\/strong>manages and operates membership warehouse clubs in North America. It\u2019s the largest price club in Central America with more than 1.6 million membership accounts. The $2.4 billion market cap&nbsp;<strong>Consumer Staples<\/strong>&nbsp;stock listed on the S&amp;P MidCap 400 has seen its share price decline by nearly 30% since the February peak. The most violent drop occurred immediately following its April 8th Q2 earnings release. July\u2019s Q3 report saw a muted reaction. The stock price trend is not the friend of the bulls heading into this Thursday\u2019s Q4 confirmed earnings date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acquisition Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been important recent corporate action. On October 1, PriceSmart announced the sale of its Aeropost Package forwarding and online marketplace business.\u00b9&nbsp;PSMT acquired Aeropost in 2018 to develop its e-commerce platform and to improve firm logistics. For retailers post-pandemic, maintaining a robust omnichannel sales operation is becoming a must. Perhaps investors were not keen on this divestiture as shares of PSMT have fallen to fresh year-to-date lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Figure 1: PriceSmart Stock Price History (1-Year)\u00b2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"312\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-1-1.png\" alt=\"PriceSmart Stock Price History (1-Year)\" class=\"wp-image-107639 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-1-1.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-1-1-300x134.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; aspect-ratio: 700\/312;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Outlier Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PriceSmart normally reports fourth-quarter earnings late in October whereas other quarters feature an earnings date around the 8th&nbsp;of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 10, PSMT announced via press release that it would report Q4 earnings on Thursday, October 21 AMC. An earnings conference takes place on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the press release, we promptly changed the earnings date from October 28 Unconfirmed to October 21 Confirmed. The much earlier than usual earnings date resulted in a very high Z-score of -3.52. Wall Street Horizon also has an A-rating confidence level for this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Earnings Date Revision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next up is&nbsp;<strong>NorthWestern Corporation (NWE)<\/strong>&nbsp;with an earnings revision that resulted in a materially later than usual reporting date. NWE engages in generating and distributing power to customers in the Upper Midwest and the Northwest United States. It also has a significant natural gas business. The $3.0 billion market cap firm in the&nbsp;<strong>Utilities<\/strong>&nbsp;sector boasts an attractive price-to-earnings ratio in the mid-teens and a hefty dividend yield above 4%. The share price, however, has sunk to multi-month lows as energy volatility builds. Rising natural gas prices and an uncertain winter are fundamental risks facing the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Figure 2: NorthWestern Stock Price History (1-Year)\u00b3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"312\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-2-1.png\" alt=\"NorthWestern Stock Price History (1-Year)\" class=\"wp-image-107640 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-2-1.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-2-1-300x134.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; aspect-ratio: 700\/312;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supply Chain Woes, Labor Cost Rising<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Issues facing NWE\u2014and so many other firms\u2014include materials sourcing problems and labor shortages. Some of the strongest job markets in the U.S. are in the Upper Midwest. Recently, the firm announced that it withdrew an application for approval of a new 175-megawatt generation station due to \u201ctimely availability of critical components and escalating labor and construction costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d\u2074<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders should be on guard for more news considering a later than normal upcoming earnings date. NWE is also slated to present at the Wells Fargo Hosted Meetings &#8211; EEI Conference 2021 on November 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Revision Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NorthWestern has a rare Sunday evening Confirmed earnings date. While not always the case, firms sometimes choose to disclose earnings on a Friday afternoon or the weekend when they have unusual (usually poor) news to report. At the very least, it\u2019s a warning sign traders should closely monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On October 4, NWE announced via press release that it revised its Q3 reporting date to the evening of Sunday, October 24. An earnings conference takes place on the following Monday afternoon.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preliminary Earnings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wrap up this week\u2019s Event Data Outlook with a household name:&nbsp;<strong>The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW)<\/strong>. The $78 billion market cap specialty chemicals company in the&nbsp;<strong>Materials<\/strong>&nbsp;sector has been volatile lately amid several important corporate events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Slew of Events and High Trading Volume<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, a 3-for-1 stock split took place earlier this year. Splits are sometimes a bullish sentiment indicator from company management that they expect a higher share price in the coming months and years. Then in June, SHW issued preliminary earnings, but that event was met with selling pressure in the market. The stock bottomed in mid-June near $265. A price uptrend began in the summer despite somewhat disappointing quarterly earnings in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Figure 3: Sherwin Williams Stock Price History (1-Year)\u2075<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"312\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-3-1.png\" alt=\"Sherwin Williams Stock Price History (1-Year)\" class=\"wp-image-107641 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-3-1.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Fig-3-1-300x134.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; aspect-ratio: 700\/312;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, trading volume has been elevated in the wake of a preliminary earnings announcement on September 28. Sherwin-Williams CEO, John G. Morikis, cited industry-wide raw materials availability constraints and pricing inflation as causes for lowering third-quarter and full-year 2021 earnings guidance.\u2076&nbsp;What\u2019s more, the profit forecast was impacted by yet another corporate action\u2014the acquisition of Specialty Polymers, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Earnings Date Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, the SHW event calendar shows a Same Store Sales report Confirmed on Tuesday, October 26. That same day, the company reports Q3 earnings BMO with a conference later in the morning. To say things have been busy for SWH is an understatement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering a recent acquisition and high uncertainty amid a very inflationary environment, traders should closely monitor this earnings report for exceptional share price volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earnings season is in full swing. While companies are sending positive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/blog\">smoke signals<\/a>, uneasiness runs high amid many macro risks. We detailed a global supply crunch in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/blog\/global-chip-shortage\">semiconductor space<\/a>&nbsp;last month, and logistical challenges indeed face firms today (as shown by unusual earnings dates from NorthWestern and Sherwin Williams). Money managers need to quickly pivot when important corporate event data is released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
