Methodology
We analyzed the past three years of XEL's earnings reports to calculate the average change in price of the stock before and after earnings.
Before Earnings
For calculating the average gains if you bought prior to earnings, we looked at the closing price of 5 different dates and compared them to the closing price of XEL on the day of the earnings report to calculate the return. The dates analyzed are:
- 28 days prior (4 weeks)
- 21 days prior (3 weeks)
- 14 days prior (2 weeks)
- 7 days prior (1 week)
- 1 day prior
This simulates an individual purchasing XEL stock on one of those days and selling on the day of the earnings report.

- 1 day after

- 14 days after (2 weeks)
- 21 days after (3 weeks)
