The expected part reflects what had been anticipated and has already been
taken into account by investors when establishing values and is therefore
reflected in price of an asset.
The unexpected part reflects surprises and influences actual returns by driving
unexpected return.
The actual return tends to be different than the expected return, especially
over a short period because of unexpected surprises that occur during the
year.
Unexpected news can be positive or negative, i.e, unexpected news can
affect share price in a negative or positive way depending on whether it
differs from expectations in a negative or positive way.
But through time, the average value of U will be zero. This simply means
that on average, the actual return equals the expected return.
Positive news that is not as good as investors expected can cause a stock’s
price to move down, while negative news that is not as bad as investors
expected can cause a stock’s price to move up.
Announcement and News

Systematic risk refers to the hazard which is associated with the market or
market segment as a whole and that affects a large number of assets,
each to a greater or lesser degree.
Systematic risk is due to the influence of external factors on an organization.
Such factors are normally uncontrollable from an organization's point of
view.
Because systematic risks have market-wide effects, they are sometimes
called market risks.
Systematic risks is caused by the fluctuations in macro-economic factors
like economic growth, government spending, money supply, changes in
interest rates, recessions, wars, inflation, etc. or changes in government
policy, the act of nature such as natural disaster, changes in the nation’s
economy, international economic components, etc.
An individual company cannot control systematic risk. It affects the overall
market, not just a particular stock or industry.
This type of risk is both unpredictable and impossible to completely avoid. It
is the risk that everyone assumes when investing in a market.
Systematic risk can be partially mitigated by right asset allocation strategy.
