A big day is a close more than 10.38% from the one before, three times MSTR’s median day (3.46%). On 0 of the 8, its peer group moved the same way at least half as far. We show what we hold. We never name a cause.

A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of AXP, COIN, SYF and SOFI that day, the largest companies in MSTR’s SEC industry; “moved with MSTR” 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). MSTR reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. 2 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected late January to early FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Oct 29 report: −8.70%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is MSTR’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
MSTR against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
MSTR is down 46.5% in a year. Synchrony Financial is up 1.2%, American Express is down 9.8% and SoFi Technologies 43.1%. Of these four, only Coinbase Global (−55.7%) did less. 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 MSTR’s SEC industry (Finance Services) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
