PHM Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% MEDIUM
PHM Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (FADE) Quarter is guided-to a margin trough and the stock has already de-risked ~10% off its late-June high, so a modest EPS/orders beat plus reaffirmed FY guide drives a relief pop on day 1. But the out-period math is unfavorable: FY26 gross margin is explicitly 'likely toward the low end' of 24.5-25%, 2026 EPS is still down y/y, and the back-half margin recovery leans on a build-to-order/active-adult mix shift that remains a show-me story. As sell-side trims out-quarter margin/EPS after digesting the incentive load (~10.9%) and low-end FY tone, the initial gain partially fades over the week, leaving a small positive residual. MEDIUM
