In such a market, annual earnings reports would not be expected to materially change the beliefs of market professionals because three-fourths of their informational content was already published in the form of quarterly earnings reports. Latane and Tuttle [5] have shown empirically that ex-ante stock price performance is independent of ex-post annual earnings data.
