BellRing Brands and Hims & Hers both fell more than six percent today — BellRing 6.12%, Hims & Hers 6.7% — the two largest single-day moves in this book, and both sit on litigation overhangs that are more than a week old rather than anything dated to today. Six of eight names still gained RSI over the three sessions since the last scan, a real improvement in breadth, but the two names that got worse were exactly the two already in the worst shape: BellRing deepened toward capitulation and Starbucks fell further below its 200-day. Crocs remains the only name in this book positive on both trailing-year return and alpha.

Numbers are the settled September 23 close for all 8 names, three trading sessions after the September 18 scan. No market-wide brief for today's session exists in the corpus as of this scan. Comparison baseline is the September 18 scan.

BellRing Brands and Hims & Hers both had the worst single day in this book. BellRing fell 6.12% today, deepening an already broken chart — its RSI fell to 26.4 from 31.1, its trailing year sits at -76.95%, and its position relative to its 200-day widened to -47.1%. A September 5 news item cites a Rosen Law Firm investigation into the company; that item is 18 days old relative to today's drop and reads as an ongoing overhang rather than today's trigger.

Hims & Hers fell 6.7% today, its steepest single-day move in this book's recent record, even though its trailing week is still positive at +1.39%. A September 17 MarketBeat item explicitly attributes the stock's decline to "investor pressure from securities class-action notices alleging misstatements and omissions" — a real, dated cause, but six days old relative to today's move and therefore background pressure rather than a confirmed trigger for today specifically.

Starbucks continues the slide the desk flagged as resolved against it last scan. Its RSI fell further to 26.3 from 28.8, its trailing-year alpha worsened to -5.91 from -0.14, and its gap below its 200-day widened to -4.3% from -2.5%. The line it lost last scan has not been reclaimed and the gap is growing rather than closing.

Crocs and Tesla are the two names that continued to work. Crocs' RSI rose to 56.7 from 53.5, extending a run that remains unexplained by any dated news — its most recent pull (September 19) returns only an August earnings recap describing the brand's first $1 billion revenue quarter, which predates the current move. Tesla's RSI climbed to 60.6 from 53.8, its third consecutive gain, and its trailing-year alpha improved slightly to -26.51 from -27.63 — the first improvement after three straight scans of deterioration, though it remains solidly negative.

• TSLA: RSI 53.8 → 60.6 (+6.8); LULU 36.4 → 43.0 (+6.6), moving out of the oversold tier; NKE 32.2 → 36.6 (+4.4); CROX 53.5 → 56.7 (+3.2); DPZ 31.7 → 33.6 (+1.9); HIMS 45.6 → 47.4 (+1.8).
• SBUX: RSI 28.8 → 26.3 (-2.5), deepening; BRBR 31.1 → 26.4 (-4.7), the largest decline and now the book's lowest reading.
• SBUX's 200-day gap widened from -2.5% to -4.3%; its trailing-year alpha worsened to -5.91 from -0.14 last scan — deteriorating, not stabilizing.
• Tesla's trailing-year alpha improved to -26.51 from -27.63 — the first improvement after three consecutive scans of deterioration flagged previously, though still deeply negative.
• HIMS moved to +1.9% above its 200-day, from sitting exactly on the line last scan, despite today's -6.7% single-day drop.
• The positive-alpha group is unchanged at one name: Crocs (+43.69, up from +37.10 last scan) remains the only one positive on both trailing year and alpha.

The three-session drift is genuinely more positive than the last two scans — six of eight names gained RSI, and Lululemon's move out of the oversold tier is a real change rather than another small bounce. But today's session cuts against that: the two worst names in the book, BellRing and Hims & Hers, both posted their steepest single-day declines, and both sit on litigation-related news that is more than a week old rather than anything dated to today. A stale cause on file is still evidence of an ongoing overhang, not proof of what moved the stock today.

Starbucks is the name whose direction actually matters here. Two scans ago the desk flagged its trailing-year edge as narrow; last scan it lost both its 200-day and its positive alpha; this scan both readings worsened further rather than stabilizing. That is three consecutive scans of the same name deteriorating on every axis, the same pattern the desk has flagged for Tesla's horizon numbers — except Tesla's RSI level was never oversold, and Starbucks' is now firmly in that territory with nothing underneath it to call it a discount.

Crocs remains the one name passing every check the desk runs, and its move continues without a dated catalyst. Treat the tape fact and the absence of a confirmed cause as two separate pieces of information, not as license to assume one implies the other.

Capitulation (RSI below 25): none, though Starbucks (26.3) and BellRing (26.4) both sit just above the line.

Oversold (RSI 25-40) — 4 names: BRBR (26.4, thesis broken), SBUX (26.3, below its 200-day with negative alpha), DPZ (33.6), NKE (36.6). None of the four carries positive trailing-year alpha.

Neutral to strong (RSI 40+) — 4 names: LULU (43.0), HIMS (47.4), CROX (56.7), TSLA (60.6).

• What, if anything, drove today's specific -6.12% and -6.7% drops in BellRing and Hims & Hers, given both cited causes are more than a week old?
• Does Starbucks ever reclaim its 200-day, or does the gap keep widening?
• Does Tesla's alpha improvement continue, or was this scan's uptick noise inside a longer decline?
