TAP Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -2.0% LOW
TAP Return 5-day cumulative residual -4.0% (FADE) Q2 weakness is pre-telegraphed so a low-bar print limits the initial reaction, but the FY guide is heavily back-half-loaded (H2 STWs must outpace STRs, share must inflect, comp/marketing reload). Analysts distrust that bridge given TAP's 2025 mid-year cut precedent and a still-soft consumer, so out-period math (implicit H2 skepticism) pulls estimates lower and any relief bounce fades into continued negative drift.
