I have entered an earnings play on FFBC using shares. The company will publish earnings on Jan. 18 after the closing bell.
The position has an uptrending Fisher Transform and a high chance of a positive earnings surprise, and as an added bonus, a very bullish Zacks rank.
FFBC, in common with the broad market, turned down on the 4-hour Fisher Transform. With earnings so close, I exited for a very small profit.
| sym | entry | exit | result ($) | result (%) | entry date | exit date |
| FFBC | 27.80 | 27.90 | 0.10 | 0.4% | 1/11 | 1/17 |
| zacks rank | zacks esp | FisherTrans | FT spread | earns est. | earns actual | |
| 1 | 6.67 | 0.56 | 0.473 | 0.44 | TBD |
