Not necessarily. AAPL has been trading differntly since the fall of 2012. Whereas it used to spike on earnings, it now tends to sell of. When using statistical data like this to make actual investment decisions, you should always look at the behaviour for different time frames and see if it stays the same for the most recent intervals.
