Beating Expectations vs Stock y


Hey all, I have started looking into the stock market recently, so kindly excuse if my question is silly or dumb.

I have seen multiple companies who show up as they “beat analyst expectations” but still they end up 8% or 9% down the next day.

Ideally, if the company has beat analyst expectations, it means they performed better than what was expected which would show how good a company is doing. But clearly I am missing out on understanding something as the stock price on the next day states otherwise.

Can someone please explain this to me? Thanks a ton in advance.
