CDW Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.5% MEDIUM
CDW Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.3% (FADE) Q2 likely beats on hardware/backlog conversion (corroborated by TD Synnex/Connection prints), but management is expected to reiterate H2 caution rather than raise back-half estimates — meaning the 'improved outlook' stays 'steeped in Q2.' With the stock already up ~50% off May lows and ~10% in the past month pricing in a clean beat, any explicit or implicit signal that Q2 strength is pull-forward (tougher H2 comps, margin mix still hardware-heavy, netted-down recovery pushed later) triggers sell-the-news de-rating and modest downward revisions to H2/FY26 EPS as analysts true-up for magnitude of pull-forward, fading the initial pop over the week.
