A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of KO, PEP, KDP and STZ that day, the largest companies in WEST’s SEC industry; “moved with WEST” 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). WEST 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 early FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is WEST’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
WEST against four beverage peers, a year at 100
WEST is up 2.7 times in a year. All four did less: Keurig Dr Pepper (+42.1%), Coca-Cola (+35.7%), Constellation Brands (+13.3%) and PepsiCo (−0.4%). Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale so a 2.7-fold rise and a 0.4% fall both read honestly.
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 WEST’s SEC industry (Beverages) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
