discounting the news

Discounting the news
An adjustment of a stock's price as speculators bid the price up or down in anticipation of news about the company, whether good or bad.

discounting the news
Adjusting a security's price so that it already reflects some anticipated event or series of events. For example, a stock price may be unaffected by a favorable earnings report because the report was expected. Likewise, a bond's price may not fall on a rating downgrade because investors anticipated the downgrade and had priced the bond to discount the event.
