Why it moves the price
Equity sits last in the capital structure. In most restructurings creditors take ownership and existing shares are cancelled or diluted to almost nothing.
What separates a good call from a naive one
Shares of bankrupt companies sometimes spike violently on speculation — that is not a recovery signal, and the equity is normally worthless at the end. Read the plan of reorganisation, not the price action.
Measured impact
Every logged event is measured against real closing prices: the move from the close before the event, compared with the S&P 500 over the same window.
