VLTO Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.0% LOW
VLTO Return 5-day cumulative residual +2.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) A modest EPS/revenue beat with FX turning from headwind to neutral-plus and another small FY EPS raise validates the 'acceleration through the year' thesis, especially if PQI core flips positive and Water Quality holds high-single-digit growth. That drives modestly upward out-period revisions rather than the implicit cuts that trigger fades; premium ~22x multiple caps the magnitude but the recovery-momentum tape (stock +15% off lows, market rewarding execution on recent prints) supports continued drift higher.
