- The report introduces the concept of "Alpha of Open Gap (AOG)" to measure market recognition of earnings surprises, defined as the excess return of the stock's opening price relative to the market index after the earnings announcement day. The formula is: $$A O G_{t+1}\ =O p e n_{t+1}/C l o s e_{t}-O p e n_{m k t,t+1}/C l o s e_{m k t,t}$$ where \(Open_{t+1}\) and \(Close_{t}\) represent the stock's opening and closing prices on day \(t+1\) and \(t\), respectively, and \(Open_{mkt,t+1}\) and \(Close_{mkt,t}\) represent the market index's opening and closing prices on the same days[25][38] - The report evaluates the performance of different indices based on the proportion of companies with earnings surprises.
