PEAD.txt: Using AI and Machine Learning to Profit from Corporate Earnings Calls

In this video, I discuss a recent research paper written by Vitaly Meursault and his co-authors on Post Earnings Announcement Drift, or PEAD. The authors show that one potentially can use Machine Learning and AI to extract “positive” and “negative” earnings surprises from a company’s earnings calls, and then use that information to trade profitably around earnings announcement.

The paper is titled “PEAD.txt: Post Earnings Announcement Drift Using Text”. Full copy of the paper available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3778798
