KDP Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +1.5% LOW
KDP Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.0% (FADE) A modest EPS beat plus reaffirmed FY guide and on-track separation should spark initial relief on the promised Q2 EPS re-acceleration, but the print leans on a big back-half-loaded hockey stick (implied ~1,000bps H2 coffee margin recovery) that keeps skeptics wary. With U.S. Coffee/JDEP profit still constrained and out-period math implying the recovery must accelerate, analysts trim later-quarter estimates even after the beat, so the day-1 pop fades back toward flat over the week.
