FRPT · PEAD ↑ 99

Freshpet reported Q2 2026 EPS of $0.33 on 2026-08-05, beating the $0.20 consensus by $0.13 (+65%).

Print-day reaction was +14.6% versus the prior close, a decisive gap-and-hold response to the substantial EPS beat. The overnight gap to the T+1 open gave back 4.4%, signalling some profit-taking after the extended session. Over the following two trading days (T+1 through T+3), price drifted +1.6% from the T+1 close, a modest but positive continuation that preserved most of the print-day gain. Cumulative abnormal return of +8.4% versus SPY.US firmly places this in PEAD long territory; the drift confirms and extends the initial reaction, with the holding window running through 2026-11-02.
