CRL Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +3.0% MEDIUM
CRL Return 5-day cumulative residual +1.0% (FADE) Beat/raise likely, but the bar was sandbagged (Q1 set an easy ~+30% sequential EPS bogey) and the stock is up ~29% since Q1 near 52-week highs, so much is priced in. A modest guide raise plus out-period math (the implied 2H ramp keeps FY estimates from moving much) and management holding the long-range framework for the September Investor Day cap follow-through; expect an initial pop that partially gives back into profit-taking.
