VZ Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +1.5% MEDIUM
VZ Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (FADE) Q1 guidance was already raised, so a reaffirmed (not incrementally raised) outlook this quarter limits fresh upward estimate revisions even if Q2 prints a modest EPS/net-add beat; the BT JV one-time charge and ongoing SpaceX/Charter competitive overhang (which drove multiple 5-7% single-day selloffs in June/July) remain unresolved and likely resurface in sell-side commentary within days, causing profit-taking that fades roughly half of the initial pop rather than full follow-through or a flat stabilization.
