Combo Analyst Revision X Pairs Cointegration
In plain terms
Big gap up plus the stock is unusually cheap vs its sector ETF = double-confirmed drift entry.
How it works
A gap-without-revision on a stock that's also dislocated from its sector ETF (high |pair-cointegration z-score|) sets up an unusually-strong drift candidate. Two mechanisms point the same direction: the gap reflects new private information (So-Wang 2023 JAR) and the cointegration spread reflects temporary mispricing vs the sector benchmark (Gatev-Goetzmann-Rouwenhorst 2006). pair_corr=-0.086 (very orthogonal).

A big overnight gap NOT preceded by an analyst revision is mispriced — the revision arrives ~5 days later and the price drifts further in that direction.
Same idea as pairs reversion, but first checks the stock and its sector ETF actually share a long-run equilibrium (cointegration).
