FDS 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return
A relatively less risky approach (although not beneficial if the correlation is low) is to assess the correlation between short-term and medium-term post-earnings returns, identify the pair with the strongest correlation, and execute the corresponding trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the highest correlation, a trader can choose to go 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation information based on a 5-year and 3-year (more recent) time frame. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.

SoftBank founder proposes $1trn AI and robotics hub in US
SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son is pursuing a plan to establish a $1trn industrial complex in Arizona, the US, to create a major hub for AI and robotics manufacturing, reported Bloomberg. The Japanese investment firm has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) to play a key role in the project, though the specifics of TSMC's potential involvement remain unclear. The proposed complex, dubbed 'Project Crystal Land,' envisions a high-tech manufacturing hub akin to China's Shenzhen, individuals familiar with the plan told the publication. The park could include production lines for AI-powered industrial robots, they said, though the discussions remain private. SoftBank has also engaged with Samsung Electronics executives to gauge interest, alongside a range of other technology companies, the report added. SoftBank officials have held discussions with US federal and state government officials, including US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, to explore potential tax incentives for companies investing in the industrial park. Son has compiled a list of SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio companies, such as robotics firm Agile Robots SE, that could establish production facilities at the site. The project's feasibility depends on support from the Trump administration and state authorities. While the envisioned cost could reach $1trn, as previously reported by the Nikkei, the actual scale will hinge on participation from major technology firms, Bloomberg's report said. If successful, Son has suggested the possibility of developing additional advanced industrial parks across the US. TSMC, which has already begun mass production at its first Arizona factory as part of a $165bn US investment, indicated that SoftBank's project does not impact its existing plans in Phoenix. Representatives from SoftBank, TSMC, and Samsung declined to comment, and the US Commerce Department did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's inquiries. In March 2025, SoftBank agreed to acquire Ampere Computing, a US-based semiconductor design company, for $6.5bn. As per the deal, Ampere Computing will be acquired by SBG through its subsidiary Silver Bands 6 (US) Corp. Ampere Computing is engaged in developing high-performance, energy-efficient processors tailored for cloud computing and AI workloads. The company currently employs approximately 1000 engineers.

Darden Restaurants operating income slips in fourth quarter despite sales jump
- Darden Restaurants has reported a slide in fourth-quarter operating income and provided a weaker-than-anticipated outlook for its current fiscal year despite a surge in sales. The group, whose portfolio includes popular eatery chains like LongHorn Steakhouse and Chuy's, reported quarterly operating profit of $382.8 million, a slide of 3.2% versus a year earlier. Analysts had anticipated $444.1 million, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. But sales during the period jumped by 11% to $3.27 billion, compared with estimates of $3.26 billion, bolstered in part by stronger-than-anticipated performance at Olive Garden and LongHorn. Darden (NYSE:DRI) also noted a boost from the acquisition of 103 Chuy's restaurants and 25 net new locations. "Our strategy remains the right one for the company, and we will continue to execute it to drive growth and long-term shareholder value," said CEO Rick Cardenas in a statement. For its 2026 fiscal year, Darden said it projects total sales growth of 7-8% and diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations of $10.50 to $10.70. Analysts had anticipated per-share income of $10.75. Mirroring peers like Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) and McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), Darden has recently been rolling out promotional drives aimed at attracting price-conscious customers wary of spending heavily during a time of broad economic uncertainty. Earlier this year, Cardenas told analysts that he expected consumers to continue to spend as long as incomes rise and outpace inflation. Recent data points have suggested that price pressures in the U.S. have been mostly benign, although economists have flagged that the impact of sweeping U.S. tariffs on inflation may still be coming. CFO Raj Vennam has also said in March that, because Darden sources most of its products domestically, it is more likely to avoid President Donald Trump's punishing import tariffs. The rest of its materials could easily be found in the U.S., he added. Shares in Darden were higher in premarket trade on Friday, erasing some earlier losses. The stock has risen by over 19% so far this year.
