Aug 13(Reuter)-SBI Q1 net falls 14% on higher provisions against bad loans and increased NPA by 37%. The stock was down by more than 3% after the results were declared. 

The short term spike can be contributed to the event but please understand that trading based on outcome of result is not the correct strategy…

Results measure the past performance of the company whereas stock prices discounts what is expected in the future. This is exactly the reason why the event only leads to short term movement but gradually the bigger trend resumes.

Technically, prices gave break out of the Wedge pattern in the start of the June itself and moved lower sharply. This is the power of simple technical analysis which helped to take the position before news arrived.
