This week is a busy one for earnings, with Thursday featuring reports from over 15 large-cap stocks.

Our model evaluates historical patterns based on changes in short interest and stock price, focusing on the week leading up to earnings and the day following the report.

For some stocks, no significant pattern has emerged; for others, recent price movements have been too minimal to generate a reliable forecast.

Among the companies reporting before the market close, two names exhibit both a discernible historical pattern and meaningful recent price action.

Bearish Signal: General Electric (GE); Bullish Signal: Elevance Health (ELV)

ELV: Share price declined recently—a historically bullish signal in our model. A moderate decrease in short interest further supports the positive outlook.
