The mistake was fixed within 24 hours and it was released during after hours when no stock trading is technically supposed to happen. It's on you if you trade outside of the official trading hours. There are also laws protecting companies from being punished for having wrong forward looking statements. The guy in charge of the earnings presentation got fired though, so there's that.
