Canadian Solar missed — and rose. Measured from 10:03 UTC, the stock went from $12.48 to $13.48 in fifteen minutes, +8.01%. Prints like this one are why the reaction is worth measuring separately from the result: positioning, not the income statement, set the first move.
This page is the measured anatomy of that print on 27 August 2026: every earnings-related headline that crossed for Canadian Solar, in order, each with the price reaction measured from its own instant.
The print, row by row
| Crossed | Headline as recorded | 15-min move from that instant | Volume vs normal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10:03 UTC | Canadian Solar Q2 EPS $(1.40) Misses $(1.18) Estimate, Sales $1.208B Beat $1.143B Estimate | +8.01% | — |
The move was not instant. One minute after the print the stock had moved +0.8%; by minute fifteen that had grown to +8.01%. Information this clear still took minutes to be fully priced — the gap between those two numbers is the window in which the market was still reading.
Did the first read hold?
It did. By the close of that session, Canadian Solar stood at +0.79% against the prior close — the same direction the first fifteen minutes priced. The instant read and the considered read agreed.
A miss that gets marked up usually means the short side was crowded or the market feared worse. The measurement keeps this honest: the direction of the first fifteen minutes is a fact, whatever the narrative later becomes.
How these numbers were measured
We record the price of the instrument immediately before each headline crosses our tape, then again one minute and fifteen minutes later, together with traded volume against that instrument's own normal. Every figure on this page comes from those recordings — the timestamps are the actual instants the lines crossed. Nothing here is an estimate, a close-to-close change, or a model's guess. The method, the gates every page must pass, and how we correct errors are documented in our editorial standards.
