Abstract
This paper deals with market reaction to announcements of quarterly earnings. We observe if information content of quarterly reports is accordingly reflected in stock prices, as theoretically implied by the Efficient Market Hypothesis. We focus on the small emerging market in Poland, and search for the post-announcement drift of abnormal returns, similar to the one observed on well-developed and mature world markets. We propose a relatively rare method of statistical verification of obtained results, tailored for specific characteristics and limitations resulting from conducting this kind of event studies on the small emerging market. The clearest finding of the paper is the significant post-announcement drift of negative abnormal returns in a group of companies that unexpectedly reported highly disappointing quarterly earnings.

Evidence that stock prices do not fully reflect the implications of current earnings for future earnings

TL;DR: This paper found that the three-day price reactions to announcements of earnings for quarters t + 1 through I + 4 are predictable, based on earnings of quarter r. Even more surprisingly, the signs and magnitudes of the three day reactions are related to the autocorrelation structure of earnings, as if stock prices fail to reflect the extent to which each firm's earnings series differs from a seasonal random walk.
