CBOE Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% MEDIUM
CBOE Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.7% (FADE) Much of the beat is already discounted since Cboe pre-discloses monthly volumes (record June/Q2 ADV was public before the print), and the stock has already rallied ~28% off its June 29 low into the report, so a clean beat-and-raise is largely priced. With 5 straight EPS beats already in the base, the incremental surprise needed to sustain gains is high; meanwhile lingering overhangs (Kalshi/Polymarket prediction-market competition, continued options/multi-listed market-share erosion, and only partial 2026 realization of the new $100-120M cost-saving program) give analysts reason to trim out-period assumptions even after an in-quarter beat, producing a sell-the-news fade over the following days.
