DASTY · PEAD ↑ 39

Dassault Systèmes reported Q3 2026 EPS of $0.32 on 2026-10-28, beating the $0.30 consensus by $0.02 (+6.7%).

Print-day reaction was −4.0% versus the prior close, as the market initially sold into the report despite the earnings beat. The overnight gap to the T+1 open reversed that move sharply, adding +4.8% and signalling aggressive dip-buying after hours. Over the subsequent two trading sessions the drift continued +1.7%, sustaining the recovery with no meaningful give-back. Cumulative abnormal return of +5.9% versus SPY.US — which fell −2.3% over the same window — places this squarely in PEAD long territory; the drift confirms a reversal of the initial reaction, with the holding window running through 2027-01-25.
