Connection Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns

A relatively low-risk strategy (though not effective if the correlation is weak) is to assess the correlation between short-term and medium-term post-earnings returns, identify the pair with the highest correlation, and implement the corresponding trade. For instance, if the 1D and 5D returns exhibit the strongest correlation, a trader might choose to position themselves “long” for the following 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is favorable. Here are correlation insights based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) data. Note that the correlation 1D_5D indicates the relation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns.
