GOOGL Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +3.5% MEDIUM
GOOGL Return 5-day cumulative residual +3.0% (STABILIZE) Clean beat on Cloud (+~64%, still capacity-constrained), high-teens Search and ~33% operating margin against a beaten-down, low-expectations setup (~$347, down ~13% from May high) drive a positive day-1 pop. Out-period math is mixed: upward Cloud/Search revenue revisions are offset by a capex raise to ~$190B that cuts FCF/EPS via depreciation, and the unresolved Gemini 3.5 Pro delay caps follow-through. Net effect: the initial gain largely holds rather than compounds — hence stabilize. MEDIUM
