$Alphabet(GOOG)$ GOOG is an excellent example of “expectations matter”. Market was thinking GOOG would not produce great earnings and guidance/buyback/dividend, and it was not trading at a multiple anywhere near as rich as the other megacaps. So when GOOG didn’t bomb its ER, short covering occurred.

In essence, if expectations are low and the company exceeds them, it can lead to a rapid increase in the stock price as short sellers scramble to close their positions and investors who were waiting on the sidelines decide to jump in. It's a prime example of how sentiment and expectations can significantly impact stock movements, sometimes even more so than the actual financial results themselves.
