TSLA · PEAD ↑ 68

Tesla reported Q3 2026 EPS of $0.20 on 2026-10-21, missing the $0.22 consensus by $0.02 (-9.1%).

Print-day reaction was +3.4% versus the prior close, a notable bid despite the EPS miss — the market apparently found something it liked beyond the headline number. The overnight gap, however, reversed course: the T+1 open came in -3.2% below the T+0 close, signalling aftermarket hesitation. Over the following two trading sessions (T+1 through T+3) the stock staged a sharp recovery, drifting +4.5% and erasing the gap entirely. Cumulative abnormal return of +5.3% versus SPY.US puts TSLA firmly in PEAD long territory; per the documented drift pattern, the read holds through 2027-01-18.
