It basically says that stocks of neglected, under-followed, small cap companies that beat the eps consensus estimate tend to outperform the market. When an earnings surprise is due to unexpected organic growth, more surprises are likely to follow in the following quarters. Every surprise plays the role of a catalyst that catapults the stock price higher as the overall expectations for future earnings growth increase. When a company is small and under-followed, there is very high chance that its business and growth prospects are misunderstood, which increases the likelihood of surprises. Usually the best performing stocks in any given year are the ones the surprise the most and most often. Surprises matter until they don't. After several consecutive surprises, a previously neglected company attracts plenty of interest and any further surprises become much more difficult to achieve. At some point the market will discount the best case scenario for a stock and even the slightest mistake will lead to a sell off. As almost everything in life, expectations are cyclical too.
