What is the market’s reaction (intraday price move, volume) to the earnings release?

Answer

The news release you provided (the third‑quarter and nine‑month earnings announcement for Ingles Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMKTA)) contains only the company’s financial results and a brief comment from the chairman. It does not include any information about how the market actually responded—such as the intraday price change of the stock, the trading volume on the day of the release, or any subsequent price movement in the minutes or hours after the announcement.

What this means for you

How to quickly verify the market reaction

1. Identify the exact release timestamp – The Business Wire article is dated 2025‑08‑07 11:30 UTC. Convert to your local time zone (e.g., 7:30 a.m. ET).
   
2. Pull a price chart for IMKTA that includes:
   • The closing price of the previous day (2025‑08‑06).
     
   • The price at 11:30 UTC (or the nearest minute) on 2025‑08‑07.
     
   • The high/low and closing price for the full day (2025‑08‑07).
     
3. Calculate the intraday move:
   [ \text{% Change} = \frac{\text{Price at release} - \text{Previous close}}{\text{Previous close}} \times 100 ]
   
4. Check volume:
   
   • Total daily volume vs. the average daily volume (e.g., 30‑day average).
     
   • If your data source provides a volume histogram, look for a spike in the minutes surrounding 11:30 UTC.

Bottom line

• The earnings release itself does not disclose the market’s reaction.
  
• To answer the question accurately, you’ll need to retrieve real‑time price and volume data from a market data service for the date and time of the release (2025‑08‑07 11:30 UTC).
  
• Once you have that data, you can compute the intraday price move (percentage or point change) and assess whether the trading volume was elevated relative to the stock’s typical activity.

If you have access to a specific data platform (e.g., Bloomberg Terminal, Reuters Eikon, a brokerage’s charting tool), you can pull the exact figures and then plug them into the template above for a complete, data‑driven answer.
