CRM · PEAD ↑ 80

Salesforce reported Q2 FY2027 EPS of $4.95 on 2026-08-26, beating the $2.35 consensus by $2.60 (+110.6%).

Print-day reaction was essentially flat at -0.03% versus the prior close of $205.69, as the after-market report had not yet been priced into the regular session close. Overnight, the stock gapped a decisive +11.9% to the next open, signalling the market absorbed the massive EPS beat in full after hours. The Day 1–3 drift added a further +2.2%, confirming no reversal of the overnight surge and extending gains through the close of $257.54 on 2026-08-31. Cumulative abnormal return of +25.0% versus SPY.US firmly places this in PEAD long territory; the documented drift pattern holds the read through 2026-11-23.
