VRTX Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -2.5% LOW
VRTX Return 5-day cumulative residual -3.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) Headline is a modest beat/reiterate that's largely priced in a range-bound, low-beta (~0.19) name, so the reaction hinges on the JOURNAVX revenue-vs-script gap and Crinetics dilution overhang. A soft JOURNAVX print keeps the 'show-me' H2 inflection unproven and pressures out-period pain-franchise estimates, while Crinetics (accretive only in 2029) drags FY EPS revisions lower — implicit cuts pull estimates down even after a top-line beat, so an initial dip should modestly follow through rather than reverse. CF durability limits the downside but isn't enough to spark a rebound. LOW
