   Yes, I couldn't agree more that announcing the earnings release date won't move the stock in and of itself.
   Perhaps you missed the part where I added:

  "Definitely an earnings pre-announcement within 3 days. Possibly with an "attachment".
   Some additional news simultaneously with the announcement is far from out of the question.

   This would seem a reasonable possibility, given that Xebec has often combined separate news items into one release.

   In fact, as recently as February 16th, when Xebec announced HyGear's 15-year Gas-as a-Service contract, towards the end of the press release they added:
 

   Also, last month, HyGear delivered an on-site hydrogen generation system to KIWA Group in Birmingham for fuel cell components testing. These recent orders and deliveries support the launch of the company’s hydrogen supply strategy in the United Kingdom, 

 

   So, you see, we can't rule out additional news along with the date of the earnings release, which was a point I thought I had made quite clearly. Simultaneous news is not as rare as you would think. Like cojoined twins.

   Perhaps it won't happen, but as I suggested, it's quite possible.
