SYK Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +1.5% MEDIUM
SYK Return 5-day cumulative residual -1.0% (FADE) SYK is a reliable beat-and-raise, so a clean recovery-quarter beat with a modest FY raise likely lifts the stock day 1. But the ~13% pre-print rally ($309 on 7/22 to $350 on 7/29) already prices in the recovery, and a chunk of the Q2 upside is one-time rev-rec catch-up of Q1 cyber-deferred sales rather than incremental forward demand. With limited true out-period estimate revision and a very high bar, profit-taking fades the initial pop over the following week toward a small net-negative residual. MEDIUM
