HPE · PEAD ↑ 100

Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported Q3 FY2026 EPS of $1.02 on 2026-09-02, beating the $0.82 consensus by $0.20 (+24.4%).

Print-day reaction on 2026-09-02 was a modest +1.9% versus the prior close, a contained initial move given the magnitude of the EPS beat. The overnight gap to the T+1 open was sharply negative at -8.2%, suggesting after-hours sellers took profits or repriced guidance concerns. Over the following two trading sessions (T+1 close through T+3 close), the stock recovered forcefully, drifting +2.9% and reclaiming lost ground. Cumulative abnormal return of +9.6% versus SPY.US over the three-day window firmly establishes a PEAD long signal — drift reverses the overnight fade and confirms underlying demand; the holding window extends through 2026-11-30.
