The print, row by row
| Crossed | Headline as recorded | 15-min move from that instant | Volume vs normal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20:07 UTC | Elastic Q1 Adj. EPS $0.70 Beats $0.58 Estimate, Sales $478.113M Beat $469.745M Estimate | +25.46% | — |
| 20:09 UTC | Elastic Raises FY2027 Adj EPS Guidance from $3.21-$3.29 to $3.29-$3.37 vs $3.24 Est; Raises FY2027 Sales Guidance from $1.985B-$2.000B to $1.998B-$2.0 | +19.99% | — |
The move was not instant. One minute after the print the stock had moved +4.94%; by minute fifteen that had grown to +25.46%. Information this clear still took minutes to be fully priced — the gap between those two numbers is the window in which the market was still reading.
Which line actually moved it
Each row above is measured from its own instant — the price immediately before that specific headline crossed — so the rows can be compared directly. The largest single reaction, +25.46%, belongs to the 20:07 UTC line. By the time the 20:09 UTC line arrived, the measured response was +19.99% — the marginal information in each successive headline decays fast, and the decay is measurable.
Did the first read hold?
It did. By the close of the next session, Elastic stood at +19.31% against the prior close — the same direction the first fifteen minutes priced. The instant read and the considered read agreed.
The cleanest case: better numbers, higher price, and a measurable window in which that repricing happened. The volume column shows how much participation confirmed it.
How these numbers were measured
We record the price of the instrument immediately before each headline crosses our tape, then again one minute and fifteen minutes later, together with traded volume against that instrument's own normal. Every figure on this page comes from those recordings — the timestamps are the actual instants the lines crossed. Nothing here is an estimate, a close-to-close change, or a model's guess. The method, the gates every page must pass, and how we correct errors are documented in our editorial standards.
