How the numbers are made.
How was AAPL's -0.17% reaction measured?
From the news timestamp, not the trading day: News Quantified takes the last trade before this press release as the base price and measures the move five minutes of trading later — point-in-time, zero look-ahead. The same clock produced the +2.46% 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.
Only one Apple headline was labeled Mar 31, 2026. How is it isolated?
It was the only Apple headline labeled that day, so its window has no same-day overlap — the move is measured cleanly from its own timestamp.
Does +2.46% predict Apple's next reaction?
No. +2.46% is a realized fact about Mar 31, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
