ALFA.ST · PEAD ↓ 78

Alfa Laval reported Q1 2026 EPS of 4.59 on 2026-04-22, missing the consensus of 4.99 by 0.40 (-8.0%).

Print-day reaction was -3.4% versus the prior close, as the miss pulled the stock sharply below its pre-earnings level. The overnight gap to the T+1 open extended the decline a further -1.8%, with no after-hours recovery to arrest the move. Over the subsequent two trading days the drift continued lower by -1.0%, offering no sign of mean-reversion as sellers retained control. Cumulative abnormal return of -6.3% versus SPY.US firmly places this in PEAD short territory; the documented drift pattern holds through the window ending 2026-07-20.
