BX Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% MEDIUM
BX Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (FADE) Low-bar setup (BX -23% YTD) plus an FRE-driven beat and management framing BCRED redemptions as peaking after the June gate should spark a relief pop on day 1. But the out-period math cuts the other way: with Iran/oil pushing realizations into an uncertain 2H, sell-side trims out-quarter realized-perf and DE estimates even after the beat, and the credit/data-center-permitting overhang (QTS Virginia) caps multiple re-rating — so the initial gain gives back roughly half over 5 days.
