While quarterly earnings per share and revenue results are often the most widely looked at metric of a company's financial position, Wall Street also considers other important factors such as guidance or margins, just to name a few. As a result, stocks often trade wildly around an earnings announcement: seemingly weak sales and EPS numbers do not guarantee downside and a stock could still trade higher due to a better-than-expected guidance range, for example.
Keeping this in mind, lets take a look at how Yahoo!'s (Nasdaq: YHOO) stock trades following an earnings report. All financial metrics aside, consider simply how the market reacts to Yahoo!'s quarterly results:
