HAL Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -3.0% MEDIUM
HAL Return 5-day cumulative residual -4.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) Even if headline Q2 EPS lands only modestly below the $0.54 consensus, the more important out-period signal is a reiterated-or-worsened Middle East drag baked into the Q3 bridge (management's own April caveat of another $0.03-0.05 hit if the offshore restart slipped, which the July escalation into Kuwait/Hormuz suggests it did). That implies analysts trim Q3/FY26 EPS and international revenue growth assumptions over the following days, and NAM segment strength (C&P beat) isn't large enough in dollar terms to offset the larger, structurally-flagged ME/logistics cost drag, so the initial negative reaction extends rather than reverses over the week.
