Is there any proof that the later group has better outcomes ?

Even if you understand all the terms, aren't you ultimately just investing based on gut feeling since all the observable information has already been factored into the purchase price anyways.

Why wouldn't it already be priced into the current stock price?

Because someone needs to incorporate it into the price. People are dumb and inefficiencies in the markets abound.
