DOW Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.5% LOW
DOW Return 5-day cumulative residual -1.5% (FADE) The blowout EBITDA/EPS beat is essentially pre-announced (mgmt's $2B guide + known April/May PE hikes), so a modest day-1 pop on a strong Q3 guide amid fresh Hormuz re-escalation gives way to fade: out-period math is the problem — the disruption-driven spike is transient (mgmt itself frames 6-18mo, i.e., peak-then-normalize), 2027 estimates get capped/cut as the cost-curve steepening is temporary, and the stock trades as an Iran-sentiment proxy the market distrusts on fundamentals (II&I/PM&C still loss-making). Any détente headline or profit-taking reverses the geopolitical premium, pulling residual negative over the week. LOW
