CHTR Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% LOW
CHTR Return 5-day cumulative residual -1.5% (FADE) Washed-out sentiment (stock -40% YTD, bar very low) plus a likely Cox close confirmation supports a modest day-1 relief bounce even on a soft broadband number. But out-period math works against it: a broadband miss (~-160K vs -142K) reinforces the secular top-of-funnel narrative, driving analysts to trim out-year sub/EBITDA/FCF estimates, while Cox dilution (~46M shares) and pro-forma leverage (3.5-3.75x) overhang the model. The initial pop fades back toward/below flat as revisions drift lower. LOW
