CMS Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +0.6% LOW
CMS Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.5% (STABILIZE) Base case is a modest beat (NorthStar/O&M, 5th straight beat) plus a clean high-end reaffirm, so out-period estimates hold rather than get cut — the telegraphed summer weather give-back is offset by ~$0.24 regulatory variance, keeping FY2026 ~$3.87-3.90 intact. No implicit cut means the day-1 pop neither fully fades nor accelerates; residual drifts flat-to-slightly-positive. Real upside optionality is a signed hyperscaler contract / IRP growth-scenario capex, which would push toward FOLLOW-THROUGH; absent that it stabilizes as a defensive reg-utility. LOW
