Some Fun Scenarios, FAQs & Making Sense of L Brands Stock Movements:

Question 1: Is the average return for L Brands stock higher after a drop?

Answer: Consider two situations,

Case 1: L Brands stock drops by -5% or more in a week

Case 2: L Brands stock rises by 5% or more in a week

Is the average return for L Brands stock higher over the subsequent month after Case 1 or Case 2?

LB stock fares better after Case 2, with an average return of 2.3% over the next month (twenty-one trading days) under Case 1 (where the stock has just suffered a 5% loss over the previous week), versus, an average return of 2.6% for Case 2.

In comparison, the S&P 500 has an average return of 3.1% over the next twenty-one trading days under Case 1, and an average return of just 0.5% for Case 2 as detailed in our dashboard that details the average return for the S&P 500 after a fall or rise.

Question 3: What about the average return after a rise if you wait for a while?

Answer: The average return after a rise is understandably lower than after a fall as detailed in the previous question.
