Meta Platforms has reportedly entered into a long-term supply agreement with Sandisk to procure flash storage for its data centers to support its in-house AI chip production.
overnight drift: buy META at close, exit next close (partnership: Meta Platforms has reportedly entered into a long-term supply agreement with Sandisk to procure flash storage for its data centers to support its in-house AI chip production.)
The entry leaned on a soft, second-hand catalyst ("reportedly entered into" a supply agreement) that had no measurable price impact — the trade round-tripped to essentially flat (-0.53) while whipsawing +3.6%/-4.2% intraday, meaning the overnight-drift thesis captured all the risk and none of the drift. The rationale conflates a routine procurement headline with a tradeable event; supplier deals are a bigger deal for the supplier (Sandisk) than the buyer (Meta). Concrete fix: require the catalyst to be a primary-source confirmation (company filing/PR, not "reportedly") AND gate entry on the stock showing abnormal volume or >0.5% move on the news day — otherwise skip, since flat-reaction headlines have no drift edge to harvest.

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 ≥ 60.
