A global fit of the Georgi-Machacek and extended Georgi-Machacek models finds that the 95 GeV diphoton and bottom-quark excesses are compatible with the 125 GeV Higgs data, while the ditau excess is not, and it sets upper bounds on the additional scalar masses.

abstract
We update the indirect constraints on the Georgi-Machacek model from $B$-physics and electroweak precision observables, including new constraints from $b \to s \gamma$ and $B^0_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$. We illustrate the effect of these constraints on the couplings of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson by performing scans using the most general scalar potential, subject to vacuum stability and perturbativity constraints. We find that simultaneous enhancements of all the Higgs production cross sections by up to 39\% are still allowed after imposing these constraints. LHC rate measurements on the Higgs pole could be blind to these enhancements if unobserved non-standard Higgs decays are present.

Light Scalars in the Extended Georgi-Machacek Model
A global fit of the Georgi-Machacek and extended Georgi-Machacek models finds that the 95 GeV diphoton and bottom-quark excesses are compatible with the 125 GeV Higgs data, while the ditau excess is not, and it sets upper bounds on the additional scalar masses.
