How MSFT reacted

Reaction is being measured.

This event is recent. News Quantified labels the realized price reaction once the trading sessions after the news complete — point-in-time, with zero look-ahead. The measured move will appear here, and below in MSFT’s reaction history.

Which window

MSFT’s news landed in the main session, which closed +0.00%.

When it landed
  1. Mainprior session
  2. After-hours4:00 – 8:00 PM
  3. Overnightno tape
  4. Pre-market4:00 – 9:30 AM
  5. Main session9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

Segment widths are fixed, so two events on different days sit in comparable places. Hatched segments are real elapsed time with no tape to measure — the overnight halt is not a gap in the data. This event carries no intraday receipt time, so it is not pinned to a minute.

The main-session result is measured upstream against the price at the news; the all-sessions result is computed here from its own anchor and close, so the two can differ in the last decimal. The adjusted column subtracts the S&P 500’s move over the same main-session span — there is no index anchor for the all-sessions span, so that cell stays empty rather than borrowing this one. After-hours and pre-market are measured upstream but populate on a small minority of events, so this page does not request them. Those rows are unmeasured, not empty.

Method

How the numbers are made.

How was MSFT's 5-minute 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 to-close figure.

What is Microsoft's median reaction, and how does this event compare?

Microsoft's median is drawn from 2,000+ labeled events; at 30 minutes it sits at +0.02%, and -0.11% 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 Microsoft headline was labeled Nov 10, 2026. How is it isolated?

It was the only Microsoft headline labeled that day, so its window has no same-day overlap — the move is measured cleanly from its own timestamp.

Does a measured reaction predict Microsoft's next reaction?

No. a measured reaction is a realized fact about Nov 10, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
