(Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) F5 (NASDAQ:FFIV) is set to report its earnings on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, after market close. For event-driven traders, understanding the stock's historical behavior around earnings releases can provide valuable insights, though actual results compared to consensus expectations will ultimately dictate market reaction. Looking at the past five years, F5's stock has shown a positive one-day return in 58% of instances following earnings announcements. When positive, the median gain was 6.2%, with a maximum one-day positive return of 13.0%. This indicates a historical tendency for significant upward movement after favorable reports. Event-driven traders typically employ two main strategies when approaching earnings: Analysts expect F5 to report earnings of $3.50 per share on revenues of $752.6 million for the upcoming quarter. This would mark an increase compared to the year-ago quarter, where the company reported earnings of $3.36 per share on sales of $695.5 million. From a fundamental perspective, F5 currently has a market capitalization of $17 billion. Over the last twelve months, the company generated $2.9 billion in revenue, demonstrating operational profitability with $730 million in operating profits and a net income of $621 million. That said, if you seek upside with lower volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio presents an alternative – having outperformed the S&P 500 and generated returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

FFIV 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively less risky strategy (though not useful if the correlation is low) is to understand the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns post earnings, find a pair that has the highest correlation, and execute the appropriate trade. For example, if 1D and 5D show the highest correlation, a trader can position themselves "long" for the next 5 days if 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns.

Stampede: Show cause notice to shunted North Goa SP, collector
Panaji: Nearly 10 days after the Shirgao jatra stampede that killed six and injured 100, state govt on Tuesday issues show cause notices to eight officials, including the district magistrate, North Goa SP, deputy collector of Bicholim, DySP Bicholim, mamlatdar, PIs of Bicholim and Mopa police stations, and panchayat secretary of Shirgao, who were on duty during the incident and have been transferred since. Chief minister Pramod Sawant, making the report of the fact finding inquiry committee (FFIC) public, said on Tuesday that the report has collectively held the temple committee, district administration, district police, village panchayat, and crowd behaviour, particularly that of 'dhonds', responsible for the tragedy. The CM called the stampede an eye-opener and said that govt will list out such events which attract large crowds, and a management plan for them will be drawn up by the administration in advance. Drones and watch towers will be used to prevent such tragedies in the future, he said. 'We will prepare SoPs, while also keeping in mind the sanctity of the rituals. Crowd management will be the responsibility of govt. Nodal officers will be appointed, besides the mamlatdar,' he said. Sawant said that police investigation will continue and individual responsibility will be fixed, while at the administrative level, action will be decided for those responsible for negligence. 'As per the FFIC, the temple committee should have cooperated with the district administration. People's lives are important while carrying out the rituals. The cooperation required was not received from the temple committee. They did not take any initiative to carry out crowd control. When they were provided suggestions to put up barricades, etc, they did not observe it,' said Sawant. The CM said that the district administration continuously met before the Shirgao jatra, but the type of enforcement and safety measures required were not taken to the required extent. 'The jatra has been held for so many years, they should have provided enforcement on a bigger scale. There is some negligence on their part. They should have taken measures as per legal requirements under the BNS. But to guard religious sanctity, they did not take the measures. For this, the district magistrate is also responsible,' said Sawant. Police were not deployed strategically, even though there were more cops deployed this time. 'We found very poor coordination on their part,' he said. 'They did not set up watchtowers or deploy drones where required. There was no coordination as required in crowded places. Some 'dhonds' should also follow discipline, with due respect, as I am also a devotee of Devi Lairai. It is important for everyone to maintain sanctity,' said Sawant. The village panchayat, while giving NOCs for stalls for power supply, did not even carry out an inspection on the ground, they just issued the NOCs, he said. He also said that in Shirgao, a dedicated road will be built, and staggered timings will be made for the 'dhonds' to go from the temple pond to the 'homkund'. Govt will carry out road widening before the next Shirgao jatra, taking locals into confidence, he said. 'Such a stampede had never occurred in Goa before, and so that such a stampede does not take place in Goa in the future, we will take precautions. Six died and 100 were injured in the stampede. At present, 18 of the 21 admitted to Goa Medical College for treatment have been discharged. Three are still undergoing treatment. Two have recovered, while one is still ill with pneumonia,' said Sawant. He said that on the narrow road and sloped pathway where the incident occurred, there was a lack of effective crowd control, and there was unidirectional movement due to lack of proper planning. Roadside stalls were allowed here, further narrowing the pathway, he said.

Goa stampede: Fact finding inquiry committee recommends dissolving the temple management committee
The Fact-Finding Inquiry Committee (FFIC), constituted to investigate the tragic Goa stampede that occurred early on the morning of May 3, 2025, during the Lairai Jatra festival in Shirgao, North Goa, recommended that the Goa government dissolve the Shree Lairai temple management committee. The report, made available on Tuesday (May 13, 2025), stated that the incident, which led to multiple deaths and injuries, was entirely preventable. 'The failure on the part of the organisers are concerned, inter alia, especially with respect to planning and safety, with not taking cognizance of some untoward incidents in the past, and more particularly with their wilful non-compliance with administrative safety directives; consequently, the Committee strongly recommends that the government should explore the possibility of dissolving the Temple Management Committee and appointing an Administrator, after following due process of law, if deemed appropriate,' the report stated. The Committee's investigation encompassed site visits, consultations with stakeholders, and a review of administrative records. 'The FFIC has concluded that the tragedy was entirely preventable and stemmed from a combination of poor planning, lack of enforcement, ignored directives, and inadequate infrastructure. The recommendations provided in this Report aim to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.' Based on field visits, interactions with eyewitnesses, injured victims, organisers, executive magistrates, police officials, and perusal of available records, the committee found that the stampede was precipitated by a confluence of preventable lapses and oversights among key stakeholders. The report stated, 'The Committee has found that the immediate cause of the stampede was overcrowding on the pathway from Tali to Homkhand, particularly at the upper end of the sloped section near the RBL Bank Branch, Shirgao, aggravated by the unruly behaviour of the Dhonds and lack of proper crowd control measures at that location. The crowd was permitted to enter the pathway from Tali in groups, which were subsequently channelled into a two-by-two queue formation beyond the sloped section leading towards Homkhand.' This arrangement resulted in a build-up of people on the sloped section, causing overcrowding in that area. The overcrowding, coupled with attempts by some groups of Dhonds to push forward through the crowd and their unruly behaviour, caused instability among devotees walking along the slope. As a result, it was given to understand that a person fell face-first on the sloped section, triggering a chain reaction in which several people behind and around her lost their balance and fell over each other. Owing to the downward slope, limited visibility, the push of the crowd, and unruly behaviour, people approaching from behind were unaware of the fall and continued moving forward, leading to the stampede, the report read. 'During the inquiry, some injured victims informed the Committee that a minor incident of a similar nature allegedly had occurred in the past, wherein, in one instance, one devotee's arm was critically injured on the day of the Homkhand,' the 26-page report said, adding that last year, a woman allegedly died due to suffocation at the sloped section of the pathway. 'However, the Committee did not find any record to substantiate such an incident. Notwithstanding the absence of official records, the Committee is of the view that key stakeholders, including the organisers, the district administration, and the district police, should have reviewed past occurrences and undertaken adequate precautionary measures to prevent such untoward incidents.' Several eyewitnesses and injured victims reported that some groups of Dhonds forcefully attempted to move from Tali towards Homkhand. 'The organisers were expected to carry out thorough capacity planning based on the location of key sites and the available access routes. Despite the existence of multiple alternative routes, the Committee found that the organisers failed to develop a multi-route circulation plan to avoid congestion along the primary pathway between Tali and Homkhand. No systematic assessment appears to have been undertaken using historical data, crowd arrival patterns, the festival's growing popularity, the year-by-year increase in the number of Dhonds, and the nature of the visitors, particularly for high-density events like the Homkhand ritual,' the report read. The committee stated it was imperative for organisers to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis and preparedness exercise and/or cooperate with authorities, incorporating their input in planning and execution. 'However, a review of the minutes of all pre-event meetings conducted by revenue and police officials revealed that the organisers did not provide critical information regarding the expected number of visitors, potential risks based on past incidents, or options for alternative circulation routes. On the contrary, the Committee found that the organisers appear to have disregarded specific instructions issued by the revenue and police authorities regarding crowd management, focusing instead solely on the conduct of religious activities,' the report said. The report further stated that the organisers neither demonstrated the intent nor undertook any concrete steps to prevent the proliferation of stalls, despite having been clearly informed by the police and revenue officials about the risks involved. 'The Committee found that the organisers were fully aware of this constraint and its potential consequences but wilfully failed to initiate preventive measures to mitigate the risk of an untoward incident.' The Committee observed that although permanent CCTV cameras had been installed within the temple precincts, the organisers did not extend surveillance to high-risk external areas. 'It is particularly concerning that no temporary CCTV cameras were arranged (on a rental basis or otherwise) at key locations such as Tali and the pathway leading to Homkhand, including the sloped section, which is well known for overcrowding and the haphazard movement of Dhonds.' 'This critical incident was precipitated by a chain of preventable failures arising from inadequate crowd risk assessment, absence of unidirectional circulation planning, non-implementation of safety directives, ambiguity in sectoral responsibilities, failure to utilise surveillance tools, unregulated roadside vending, and the lack of pre-emptive crowd behaviour management — all pointing to institutional and procedural shortcomings among the organisers, the district administration, the police, and the local body,' the committe observed. 'The Police arrangement order issued by the Superintendent of Police, North Goa District, dated April 29, 2025, refers to the installation of six watchtowers. However, during its interaction with the Police Inspector, Bicholim, the Committee learnt that the watchtower designated near the sloped section was not erected at all, and the two police constables assigned to that location were deployed at other points,' the report added. Although the Police had deployed a drone for surveillance purposes, the Committee found that it was not utilised during the aforementioned critical period. The reasons for this could not be established at this time, the committee stated. The State government has issued Show Cause Notices to eight former officials from North Goa District administration, the local police department, and Shirgao panchayat.
