A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of NWSA, NYT, TDAY and DJCO that day, the largest companies in LEE’s SEC industry; “moved with LEE” 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 three did

Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). LEE reports during the trading day, so day 1 is that day’s close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected early-to-late NovemberEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Aug 6 report: −19.45%. Three reports is a small sample.

Every report since 2022 →

Each line is LEE’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.
