INTC · PEAD ↓ 100

Intel reported Q3 2026 EPS of $0.52 on 2026-10-29, beating the $0.28 consensus by $0.24 (+85.7%); no prior-year comparable is available in our feed.

Print-day reaction was −3.6% versus the prior close — a sharp negative response despite the EPS beat, suggesting guidance or forward commentary dominated the market's read. The overnight gap to the T+1 open compounded the damage, adding another −25.8%, an unusually severe after-hours dislocation. Over the following two trading days (T+1 close through T+3 close) the stock drifted a further −7.9%, with no stabilisation or mean-reversion to offer relief. Cumulative abnormal return of −34.3% versus SPY.US places this firmly in PEAD short territory; per the documented drift pattern, the signal holds through 2027-01-26.
