A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of MCK, COR, CAH and NUS that day, the largest companies in HLF’s SEC industry; “moved with HLF” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). HLF reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected early-to-mid FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Nov 2 report: +12.20%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is HLF’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
HLF against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
HLF is up 63.9% in a year. All four did less: Cardinal Health (+28.6%), Mckesson (+25.5%), Cencora (−1.9%) and Nu Skin Enterprises (−50.3%). Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in HLF’s SEC industry (Wholesale-Drugs, Proprietaries & Druggists' Sundries) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
