The prior seven years of reports had been much later, from 8\/30 &#8211; 9\/9, with no day of the week trend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the 3-year trend we had assumed a report date of Monday, August 21 AMC. Instead, on August 2&nbsp; PANW confirmed they would report August 18 AMC, the first ever Friday report since they IPO\u2019d in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-attempt-to-hide-bad-news\"><strong>An Attempt to Hide Bad News?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a well-known tactic for years that companies try to hide their bad earnings reports during times when there is less market attention. That typically means on busy days, after hours, and Fridays. It makes sense that investors would be paying less attention to the markets on a Friday afternoon just as they are kicking their shoes off for the weekend. However, the 2015 academic paper \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/news\/market-in-attention-and-earnings\">Market (In)Attention and the Strategic Scheduling and Timing of Earnings Announcements<\/a>\u201d by Ed deHaan of Stanford University, found using Wall Street Horizon data that while there is actually less attention on busy days, after hours, and when a company confirms with less advance notice, attention does not necessarily wane on Fridays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-1.png\" alt=\"Measures of market attention\" class=\"wp-image-194979 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Market (In)Attention and the Strategic Scheduling and Timing of Earnings Announcements, Ed deHaan et al<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even though investor attention is still intact on Fridays, the research shows that earnings reported after hours, on busy days, and even on Fridays, are significantly worse (relative to Wall Street Expectations) than at other times. Because this seems to be the case, even announcing a Friday AMC report date dings a stock, just as we\u2019ve seen with PANW. Since confirming their FQ4 2023 report date on August 2, the stock has fallen ~15%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-friday-afternoon-earnings-reports-a-rarity-for-large-caps\"><strong>Friday Afternoon Earnings Reports &#8211; A Rarity for Large Caps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How rare is a Friday AMC earnings report? Just to put it in perspective, for the second quarter earnings season we screened for companies with market caps over $10B and found that in addition to Palo Alto Networks, only Toronto-based Constellation Software (CSU) confirmed a Friday AMC date. Constellation reported on August 11, and it was the second time in their xx years as a public company that they reported at that time. They did indeed have some bad news to share, which came in the form of an 18% YoY profit decline. Since their report the stock has fallen 3%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1022\" height=\"614\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0.png\" alt=\"Q2 2023 Earnings Announcements Time of Day\" class=\"wp-image-194978 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0.png 1022w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-700x421.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/pasted-image-0-768x461.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1022px; aspect-ratio: 1022\/614;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Wall Street Horizon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recent-cybersecurity-results\"><strong>Recent Cybersecurity Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The very next day after PANW confirmed their odd earnings date, peer cybersecurity name Fortinet (FTNT) reported quarterly results that missed revenue expectations and warned that deals were being delayed due to macroeconomic uncertainty. Fellow cybersecurity names, including PANW, saw their stocks fall as a result. More recently, on August 14, Cyberark (CYBR) reported better-than-expected results for the quarter, lifting cybersecurity stocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday we\u2019ll see whether PANW will go the way of FTNT or CYBR, and whether there was anything to their Friday AMC report date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted August 17, 2023 &#8211; <a
