Signal: correct. The bullish call played out — price rose from 343.0 to a peak of ~+0.93% (~346.2), and the trade closed green. Timing: fine — entry was only +0.34% off the prior close with a flat last 30 minutes, so the move had not already run before entry. Exit: the dominant weakness — the +$2.50 realized (+0.36%) captured less than half of the +0.93% (~$6.40 on 2 shares) available at the peak, while worst drawdown was a modest -0.50%, so the exit left most of the favorable move uncaptured.
Note: whether the rationale's causal story (hyperscaler capex projections) actually drove the move can't be determined from this data — only that direction and entry timing were consistent with it.
📖 Glossary
S1 primary — trades the alert's primary ticker in the direction the article itself indicates; exits at the same day's close.
S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
S3 peer — trades an inferred peer ticker (also LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
S4 overnight — holds the primary ticker from today's close to the NEXT day's close.
Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 70.
