GEHC Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -1.8% MEDIUM
GEHC Return 5-day cumulative residual -3.0% (FADE) The print is fully pre-wired (rev $5,295M/+5.7%, organic +3.5%, EPS above plan all disclosed 7/23) and the stock already rallied ~+6% into the report (60.58 on 7/24 to 64.13 on 7/28), so upside is spent. Management reaffirmed rather than raised FY26 despite the Q2 EPS beat, meaning the out-period math embeds an implicit H2 haircut — H2-weighted inflation ($250M gross, offsets skewed to H2/2027) plus a still-negative PCS and China backdrop pressure back-half estimates even after the beat. Combined with the CFO-transition overhang, that sets up a sell-the-news fade as estimates drift flat-to-down and the pre-print pop unwinds. LOW
