─ Verdict ─ T+5 CAR (+1.23%) lands on the opposite side of the entry band from T+3 (-8.05%). The post-earnings drift faded inside two extra sessions — typical signature of a print that hit consensus algorithms hard then gave back as positioning normalised. Our read: the reversal outweighs the T+3 direction — we no longer treat that initial reading as the live signal.
─ Conviction ─ Original conviction 96/100 invalidated. T+5 closes against the signal — the print did not produce a sustained move.
