The announcement, and the market’s answer.
Apple filed Form 8-K with the SEC on Apr 30, 2026. It was one of 2 Apple headlines News Quantified labeled that day, so its measurement window overlaps with the others on a shared tape. The same session also carried Apple's "Apple reports second quarter results", each measured on its own clock.
Against the price at the news timestamp, AAPL moved +0.62% after five minutes and +0.41% by the close — about 1.5× Apple's median close-day move of -0.28% across 2,000+ events. Because several releases shared that day, their measurement windows overlap and no single headline cleanly owns the move.

How the numbers are made.
How was AAPL's +0.62% reaction measured?
From the news timestamp, not the trading day: News Quantified takes the last trade before this SEC filing (Form 8-K) as the base price and measures the move five minutes of trading later — point-in-time, zero look-ahead. The same clock produced the +0.41% to-close figure.
What is Apple's median reaction, and how does this event compare?
Apple's median is drawn from 2,000+ labeled events; at 30 minutes it sits at +0.16%, and -0.28% by the close. This event's move is one draw from that distribution — ordinary or outlier, the chart's median ticks show which.
2 Apple headlines shared Apr 30, 2026. Whose reaction is this?
Each of the 2 same-day Apple events is measured from its own timestamp, but their windows overlap on one tape, so we show the cluster rather than pretending a single headline owns the move.
Does +0.41% predict Apple's next reaction?
No. +0.41% is a realized fact about Apr 30, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
