Question
Why does a company's stock price sometimes drop right after they report record profits?
ChatGPT response
Stock prices reflect expectations, not just current results — the price already "priced in" analysts' forecasts before the report came out. If the record profit still comes in below what investors were expecting, or if the company's guidance for future quarters looks weaker, the stock can fall even though the actual numbers are objectively good. It's less "did the company do well" and more "did the company do better or worse than the market had already bet on."
