A hatched rung is a threshold the price never touched inside the measured window — not a missing measurement. Most news never moves a large-cap by 5% either way, so a mostly empty ladder is the finding, not a gap in the data.

Each row is measured from the price at the news to that horizon independently, so the ladder is not cumulative and a later row can sit above an earlier one. “Available” is a date, not a gap: that horizon has not elapsed yet for this event, and it is computed from the event’s own timestamp rather than from the data. An em dash is the other case — the horizon passed and no return was recorded.

Five minutes after the news, V had moved +0.14%; by the close it stood at -0.78% — the two readings disagree in direction, and the early move did not survive to the close.

Impact: Negative. Reaction = percent move vs. the price at the news timestamp. Sources below.

Which window

V’s news landed in the after-hours window; the main session closed -0.78%.

When it landed
  1. Mainprior session
  2. After-hours4:00 – 8:00 PM
  3. Overnightno tape
  4. Pre-market4:00 – 9:30 AM
  5. Main session9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

Segment widths are fixed, so two events on different days sit in comparable places. Hatched segments are real elapsed time with no tape to measure — the overnight halt is not a gap in the data. This event carries no intraday receipt time, so it is not pinned to a minute.

The main-session result is measured upstream against the price at the news; the all-sessions result is computed here from its own anchor and close, so the two can differ in the last decimal. The adjusted column subtracts the S&P 500’s move over the same main-session span — there is no index anchor for the all-sessions span, so that cell stays empty rather than borrowing this one. After-hours and pre-market are measured upstream but populate on a small minority of events, so this page does not request them. Those rows are unmeasured, not empty.

What happened

Where this V event came from, and what the tape did with it.

Visa filed Form 8-A12G with the SEC on May 12, 2026. It was one of 2 Visa headlines News Quantified labeled that day, so its measurement window overlaps with the others on a shared tape. The same session also carried Visa's "Form 8-K VISA INC. For: May 11", each measured on its own clock.

Against the price at the news timestamp, V moved +0.14% after five minutes and -0.78% by the close — about 15.9× Visa's median close-day move of -0.05% across 2,000+ events. Because several releases shared that day, their measurement windows overlap and no single headline cleanly owns the move.

Method

How the numbers are made.

How was V's +0.14% reaction measured?

From the news timestamp, not the trading day: News Quantified takes the last trade before this SEC filing (Form 8-A12G) as the base price and measures the move five minutes of trading later — point-in-time, zero look-ahead. The same clock produced the -0.78% to-close figure.

What is Visa's median reaction, and how does this event compare?

Visa's median is drawn from 2,000+ labeled events; at 30 minutes it sits at +0.00%, and -0.05% by the close. This event's move is one draw from that distribution — ordinary or outlier, the chart's median ticks show which.

2 Visa headlines shared May 12, 2026. Whose reaction is this?

Each of the 2 same-day Visa 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 -0.78% predict Visa's next reaction?

No. -0.78% is a realized fact about May 12, 2026, not a forecast. Past reactions describe a distribution; they say nothing certain about any future move.
