- Thursday close (example data)
Ticker A
What happened: Quarterly results came out after Tuesday's close. Revenue was up on last year and the company raised its outlook for the year. The stock rose about 6% on Wednesday and gave back part of that on Thursday. Source: the company's results release.
Your note on why you watch it: "Subscriptions growing faster than costs."
Against your note: The release says subscription revenue grew faster than total costs this quarter. Costs grew faster than in the last two quarters, mainly hiring.
Ticker B
What happened: No company news since your last brief. Volume was below its 20-day average.
Against your note: Nothing new to check against.
Ticker C
What happened: A filing shows a board member sold shares on Monday. Filings like this are common and do not explain the reason. Source: the public filing.
Scheduled today

For your journal
- Ticker A's costs grew faster than before. Does that change your note, or is hiring part of the plan you expected?
- You wrote that you would review Ticker B if nothing happened for a month. It has been five weeks. What is your review?
- What would you need to see in the next results from Ticker A to stop watching it?
