contents We revisit the 95 GeV excesses in the $γγ$ and $ττ$ channels in the Georgi-Machacek model, where a single light $CP$-even custodial singlet $H$ can account for both hints. Using one-loop renormalization group-improved effective potential and positive-definiteness conditions for vacuum stability, together with perturbative unitarity, electroweak precision tests, $B$-physics, and Higgs data, we identify a narrow but viable parameter region. In this region, charged and doubly charged scalars enhance $H\toγγ$, while the fermionic rescaling controls $H \to ττ$, yielding combined signal strengths compatible at the $2σ$ level. The scenario predicts characteristic patterns in the singlet mixing and triplet vacuum expectation values and is highly testable at the HL-LHC and future lepton colliders via precision $κ_V$ measurements and direct exotic searches.
