How this figure is read

No two expirations settle at consecutive closes around the report session, so this is read off the first expiration after it (2026-11-13). It includes 2 ordinary sessions besides the report session, so it reads larger than the report alone.

Source: the delayed option chain. The at-the-money straddle price is the figure many sites call the expected move. It is about 0.8 of one standard deviation.

Cross-check from the at-the-money straddle: 11.04%.

Report date and time: the company's investor relations release, checked Thu, Nov 12, 2026. A report is listed only once the company itself has announced the date and whether it reports before the open or after the close, in its investor relations release or an SEC filing. A company that has announced only the day of an earnings call held after the close is listed too, marked release time not stated: its page prices the move from that day's close to the next session's close and says so. Each date links to that announcement. Projected dates are left out.
