   STAA rose 29.7% on the day and surged another 17.68% in five minutes after reporting a modest quarterly beat and a $50 million buyback authorization. The 5.9% sales beat, lower year-over-year earnings and non-binding repurchase authorization provide a positive catalyst, but do not proportionately explain the near-30% move.

   WHYUp 29.7% on a 5.9% revenue beat, 120% EPS beat from a low estimate, declining year-over-year results, and a $50 million buyback is a much larger move than the disclosed news supports.
