Underperformance and duration

asking PMs/analysts here how you manage a portfolio that is underperforming after 1-5 days (without earnings or events): do you do nothing, trim, or add?

are you willing to take duration and say the stock can outperform over the longer term - 1 month, 3 months, into/after earnings? or is that too risky if you are running a neutral/levered portfolio
