TAP Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -2.2% MEDIUM
TAP Return 5-day cumulative residual -3.6% (FADE) Even if the print lands roughly within the pre-guided ugly range, the gap between a modest ~-3% revenue decline and a much steeper EPS decline (peak aluminum/MPT costs plus MG&A step-up) keeps margin skepticism alive; full-year guidance implies a sharp H2 shipment catch-up and share stabilization that analysts will need to underwrite without much new evidence, so sell-side models likely trim H2/FY26-27 EPS further even after modest in-line commentary, producing continued downward revisions and price fade over the following days rather than stabilization.
