The announcement, and the market’s answer.
Tesla filed Form 8-K with the SEC on Jul 22, 2026. It was one of 2 Tesla headlines News Quantified labeled that day, so its measurement window overlaps with the others on a shared tape. The same session also carried Tesla's "Tesla Releases Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results", each measured on its own clock.
Against the price at the news timestamp, TSLA moved -0.98% after five minutes and -6.25% by the close — about 328.9× Tesla's median close-day move of +0.02% across 2,000+ events.

How the numbers are made.
How was TSLA's -0.98% reaction measured?
From the news timestamp, not the trading day: News Quantified takes the last trade before this SEC filing (Form 8-K) as the base price and measures the move five minutes of trading later — point-in-time, zero look-ahead. The same clock produced the -6.25% to-close figure.
What is Tesla's median reaction, and how does this event compare?
Tesla's median is drawn from 2,000+ labeled events; at 30 minutes it sits at -0.10%, and +0.02% by the close. This event's move is one draw from that distribution — ordinary or outlier, the chart's median ticks show which.
2 Tesla headlines shared Jul 22, 2026. Whose reaction is this?
Each of the 2 same-day Tesla events is measured from its own timestamp, but their windows overlap on one tape, so we show the cluster rather than pretending a single headline owns the move.
Does -6.25% predict Tesla's next reaction?
No. -6.25% is a realized fact about Jul 22, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
