Abstract: I dissect stock returns after earnings announcements into their overnight and intraday components and document strong positive abnormal overnight returns for several weeks after both large positive and negative earnings surprises. This finding is in line with attention-induced buying pressure. Consistently, overnight returns are higher when retail investor attention towards the surprise is high. Corresponding intraday returns have the opposite sign, which makes this pattern invisible in close-to-close returns. The effect is stronger during high sentiment periods as well as for hard-to-arbitrage firms and weaker if the average investor holds the stock at a gain.
