One of the biggest mistakes an investor can make during earnings season is assuming that just because a stock went down, the company reported bad quarterly numbers. That isn’t always the case. Just consider: Arm Holdings (ARM). The AI chip designer reported quarterly earnings last night. And ARM stock dropped in response. Obviously, that’s because
