NEGATIVE IMPACT
Atour Lifestyle Holdings Ltd reported strong Q3 FY23 results with nearly doubled revenue and significant growth in operating income. However, the stock price fell by 4.84% despite the positive earnings report.
The negative price action following the earnings report suggests that the market had higher expectations for Atour Lifestyle's financial performance or that there are other concerns weighing on the stock price. The short-term impact is likely negative due to the immediate drop in share price post-earnings, despite the company's strong growth indicators.
