STRETCHEDCONFIDENCE5/5RHI is up 21.2% after a modest Q3 EPS beat and essentially in-line revenue, with Q4 guidance only roughly consistent with estimates. The earnings improvement and return-to-growth commentary provide a catalyst, but the magnitude of the rally is far larger than the disclosed financial upside supports.
