THO Jumps After Q3 Earnings—But Is History On Your Side?
THOR Industries (NYSE: THO) surged 2.8% to $84.93 after announcing fiscal Q3 2025 results that outperformed expectations. Management touted improved margins and robust cash generation—even as the RV industry remains under pressure. But while today’s reaction is positive, what does THO's historical playbook say about how the stock performs around earnings announcements? And what are option traders betting on next?
A Quick Look: Options Market and Trading Highlights
Heading into earnings, the options market was bracing for a significant move—implied volatility pegged expectations at a swing of ±10.7%. By the closing bell, shares were up a more modest 2.8%, a far cry from the wild 14.5% plunge seen after the last report.

How Has THO Stock Historically Reacted Around Earnings?
If you’re new to the stock or wondering whether this post-earnings pop has staying power, the data is eye-opening. Here’s how THO shares typically behave on earnings day, based on the past 12 quarters:
| Stock Performance | Earnings Move | Open Gap | Open to High | Open to Low | Open to Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average Return | -0.9% | -1.2% | +4.3% | -3.5% | +0.3% |
| % of Moves Up | 50.0% | 50.0% | 66.7% | ||
| % of Moves Down | 50.0% | 50.0% | 33.3% |
What stands out? Despite a nearly even split between up and down moves, there’s a mild tendency for THO to close higher than it opened—up 0.3% on average, with the open-to-high stretch showing an impressive +4.3% average run. The takeaway: intraday volatility creates both opportunity and risk, often with early morning dips and midday rebounds.
Here’s a look at the absolute size of the moves:
| Stock Performance | Earnings Move | Open Gap | Open to High | Open to Low | Open to Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute Average Return | 6.4% | 5.9% | 4.3% | 3.5% | 3.3% |
| Max Absolute Return | 17.7% | 16.2% | 8.3% | 8.8% | 7.0% |
| Min Absolute Return | 0.7% | 1.2% | 0.2% | 0.5% | 0.1% |
On average, THO stock moves over 6% on earnings day—a boon for short-term traders and option sellers, but a wild ride for long-term holders.

What Happens After the Headlines Fade?
The action doesn’t stop after the first post-earnings bell. Here’s a snapshot of how THO performs in the days and weeks that follow an earnings announcement:
| Stock Performance | 1 Day After Earnings | 2 Days After Earnings | 3 Days After Earnings | 1 Week After Earnings | 2 Weeks After Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average Return | -0.3% | +0.5% | -0.2% | -0.5% | -0.7% |
| % of Moves Up | 45.5% | 63.6% | 72.7% | 63.6% | 36.4% |
| % of Moves Down | 54.5% | 36.4% | 27.3% | 36.4% | 63.6% |
Despite frequent intraday volatility and short-term optimism (with nearly three-quarters of the 3-day moves being up), the average drift is muted or negative in the days and weeks after earnings. This underlines the risk of chasing an initial earnings pop—THO tends to be a trader's playground but less reliable for those banking on follow-through momentum.
Takeaway: Cautious Optimism—But Don't Ignore History
THOR Industries may have exceeded Wall Street’s expectations and delivered operational wins this quarter, but history shows that its stock reactions around earnings are rarely one-way streets. Intraday swings can be substantial, while follow-through is often tepid or inconsistent. For those trading THO—either through shares or via today’s most active puts—these patterns offer important clues.
