After expiration day before its earning and split day, we only have one day to react earning and split. So pre-earning and pre-split run up will be limited. Anyone have any idea why mamagement of CPQ set earning day and split day on same day? what is good thing about it? Because we often see post-split run down, why don't we set earning on Jan 23rd. Which leave market two trading days between earn and split. In this case, if earning is bad, stock wouldn't fall to much because of possible pre-split running. If earning is good, it would push CPQ back to 70s because of pre-split run up. If we have bad earning on Jan 21st morning, every dollor drop will be translated into 2 dollor of your money. This is MAGIC OF SPLIT.
