Methodology
We analyzed the past three years of WAFD's earnings reports to calculate the average change in price of the stock before and after earnings.
Before Earnings

- 28 days prior (4 weeks)
- 21 days prior (3 weeks)

This simulates an individual purchasing WAFD stock on one of those days and selling on the day of the earnings report.
