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.

Next earnings report

Fri Dec 4, 2026 before the open

From Yahoo Finance's calendar; dates can move. Analysts expect earnings per share of 0.72.

Over its last 12 reports, LB's typical move against the S&P/TSX at the first close after the report was ±4.2% (median size, either way); it finished ahead of the index 4 times.
LB after beats of 5% or more: ahead of its index at the first close after the report 13 of 16 times (median +3.0%).
LB after misses of any size: behind its index at the first close after the report 20 of 22 times (median −2.9%).
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.

A crash marks every stock down; debt decides which companies come through. The storm test scores both halves: how hard the stock swings with the market, and how much debt it carries into a downturn. It describes fragility; it does not predict a crash.
