Robert O., last Q earnings were announced 2/16/99.
appliedmaterials.com
Here's how the stock behaved before and after. The day of the
announcement is in bold. Looking at closing price, nothing much
happened for 6 days after announce, then the stock dropped.
[we may have focused on intraday highs too much]

Robert,

What adds to the mystery is the host of estimate revisions after earnings. Here is only a smattering:

The "priced in" argument simply does not fly.
