A call is right when the stock rose after an in call or fell after an out call. Trend plays are built to take many small losses for a few big wins, so their hit rates run lower; being right often isn't the same as making the most money. How we test a play.

How to read candlesticks

Each candle is one trading day: the box spans the open and close, the thin line the day's high and low. Hollow boxes closed up, filled boxes closed down. Toggle the averages to see the trend the plays read. Dots above the candles mark news and company filings: hover or tap one to see the story and how the stock moved from the last close before it, against the market on the same days.

What moved CS lately

Its 2 biggest moves against the S&P/TSX in the last 30 sessions, the news read on each, and how reliably that kind of news has moved stocks before. How it's measured

Thu Sep 10−8.2% against the S&P/TSX2.6× a normal day

CS −9.3%, the S&P/TSX −1.1% that session; −14.6% against the S&P/TSX over five sessions.

No earnings report, rating change, 8-K filing or news story on CS was found for this session. Be The Puck's headline archive for CS starts Oct 1, so news stories from that day aren't in it. The S&P/TSX moved −1.1%. The 50 other Metals & mining stocks Be The Puck covers moved −4.2% on average, so most of the move was its own.

Tue Sep 8+8.7% against the S&P/TSX2.8× a normal day

CS +7.6%, the S&P/TSX −1.1% that session; −5.5% against the S&P/TSX over five sessions.

Next earnings report

Thu Oct 29, 2026 after the close

From Yahoo Finance's calendar; dates can move. Analysts expect earnings per share of 0.18.

Over its last 12 reports, CS's typical move against the S&P/TSX at the first close after the report was ±2.1% (median size, either way); it finished ahead of the index 10 times.
CS after beats of 5% or more: ahead of its index at the first close after the report 8 of 15 times (median +0.6%).
CS after misses of any size: behind its index at the first close after the report 7 of 20 times (median +0.9%).
Across all covered stocks, beats of 5% or more were followed by a gain against the index 64% of the time and misses by a drop 62% of the time.

Whether a report beats is only known once it is out, so these say how the stock has reacted, not which way it will go.
