CAMT · PEAD ↓ 100

Camtek reported Q1 2026 EPS of $0.70 on 2026-05-12, beating the $0.68 consensus by $0.02 (+2.9%); year-over-year comparison is not available in the current data feed.

Print-day reaction was –15.8% versus the prior close — a sharp, immediate rejection despite the modest EPS beat. The overnight gap opened slightly higher (+1.5%), suggesting a brief stabilization attempt rather than a sustained recovery. Over the following two sessions the stock continued to slide, drifting an additional –0.3%, confirming no meaningful bid emerged after the initial shock. Cumulative abnormal return of –18.8% versus SPY.US — which was essentially flat over the same window — puts this firmly in PEAD short territory; per the documented pattern, the read is held through 2026-08-07.
