The funnier scenario is when the company beats their earning predictions, but the stock drops because analysts were predicting that they would beat their predictions by even more.

That shouldn't be surprising at all when the price of the stock is based on investors' expectations, and it's possible for analysts' guidenaces to hold more sway than the company itself. For instance if the analysts' guidance was issued later

That situation is unremarkable, if you understand prices are a function of supply and demand, and supply and demand are always in flux.
