Print-day reaction was +5.3% versus the prior close, a sharp immediate re-rating on the slim but positive EPS beat. The overnight gap to the T+1 open added another +4.8%, signalling sustained buying pressure after hours with no fade. Over the following two trading days (T+1 close through T+3 close) the stock drifted an additional +0.76%, holding the bulk of its gains with minimal give-back. Cumulative abnormal return of +10.1% versus SPY.US — which declined 0.22% over the same window — firmly places this in PEAD long territory; the documented drift pattern points through the holding window ending 2027-02-01.
