MS Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +3.0% MEDIUM
MS Return 5-day cumulative residual +2.0% (STABILIZE) A clean EPS/trading beat plus short-covering of the crowded long-GS/short-MS trade (GS already +9% on its print) should drive a positive day-1 residual and lift near-term EPS estimates. But out-period math caps follow-through: Q2 markets strength is viewed as a peak that normalizes into 2H, and MS's ~4x TBV premium multiple leaves little revision headroom. Net: the initial gain largely holds rather than compounds, so estimates and price stabilize after day 1. LOW
