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.

POU, day by day

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 POU lately

Its biggest move 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

Mon Sep 21−5.2% against the S&P/TSX2.2× a normal day

POU −4.6%, the S&P/TSX +0.6% that session; −8.0% against the S&P/TSX over five sessions.

No earnings report, rating change, 8-K filing or news story on POU was found for this session. Be The Puck's headline archive for POU starts Oct 2, so news stories from that day aren't in it. The S&P/TSX moved +0.6%. The 58 other Energy & power stocks Be The Puck covers moved −1.1% on average, so most of the move was its own.

Next earnings report

Thu Nov 5, 2026 before the open

From Yahoo Finance's calendar; dates can move. Analysts expect earnings per share of 0.29.

Over its last 12 reports, POU's typical move against the S&P/TSX at the first close after the report was ±4.0% (median size, either way); it finished ahead of the index 5 times.
POU after beats of 5% or more: ahead of its index at the first close after the report 12 of 23 times (median +0.0%).
POU after misses of any size: behind its index at the first close after the report 15 of 22 times (median −5.0%).
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.
