Why it moves the price
Heavy investment lowers near-term free cash flow and raises depreciation, hitting reported earnings for years before any revenue arrives.
What separates a good call from a naive one
The reaction hinges entirely on whether investors believe the return. The identical announcement reads as visionary while a growth narrative holds and as value destruction once patience runs out — which is why the same news moves the same stock in opposite directions in different years.
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.
