As you guys know, I am in process of experimentation in Stock Market. From following the market, I have come across some preconditions. If a stock has very little news related to it, it most probably means that the stock isn't traded that regularly or it isn't that popular. So, even if the stock's earning results are good, it may not lead to a sufficient surge in stock's price. Check the past year trend of the stock, if the stock is relatively at the same price for the past one year, the odds of a sudden stock surge because of an earnings release is remote. As such, that particular stock should be avoided.
If a stock is in steady decline throughout its 5 year or 1 year trend, it is best avoided or paid extra attention. Just as explained above, if the stock is relatively flat in the past one year (not 3 months) but the past one year, and else being equal the stock will not rise dramatically in price. Stocks that are under $10 may not rise over the required $1 price after earnings release that the current investment strategy requires. If in the past, above earning guidance or positive earnings release only lead to meager stock price or less than $0.80 rise in stock price, extra attention needs to be paid, as the stock may not provide required returns.
