Stock catalyst
A stock catalyst is an event that causes the price of a security to move, sometimes significantly. Examples of stock catalysts are:
- Company earnings releases
- Investor/Analyst Days
- Analyst revisions
- Product launches
- Management transitions
- Significant dividend changes
- Significant stock buyback changes
In a simplified sense, it is good news or a press release to get people interested in the stock again.[1] Stock catalysts often change investor sentiment and can mark the beginning or end of stock trends. They may affect the perception of a company's discounted future cash flows.
