Q4 (February 3, 2026): EPS $1.53 vs $1.32 est[FMP], +15.9% beat. D+1 movement: -17.3%[FMP D+1]. Decline despite beat - market reacted to guidance, not numbers.

Three scenarios: what could happen?

EPS < $1.26 (no guidance)

Q4: EPS $1.53 vs $1.32 beat[FMP], stock -17.3% D+1[FMP].

Backlog concentration

No RPO/backlog concentration disclosed in Q4 earnings call.

CapEx shock

Q4 CapEx $222.0M[FMP cashflow]. Q4 op margin 17.1%[FMP op margin] - this level in Q4 is sensitive to CapEx revision risk.

Framework - Position discipline

After the data arrives: 3 scenarios, 3 windows

Not advice - a structural framework for earnings night. Decision discipline is yours.

Scenario A - Beat
Q4 EPS > $1.30 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $1.30[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $300[FMP target]; high target $380[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $1.30 + CapEx < $222.0M
Threshold: EPS approx $1.30[FMP est], Q4 CapEx < $222.0M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $361[FMP] and median $300[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $1.26 or CapEx >= $222.0M
Threshold: EPS < $1.26[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $361 below SMA200 $211[FMP], if rejection continues, $180[derived] support activates.
Sizing
Earnings volatility -> max portfolio 1-2%. Waiting for earnings is not a gamble, it's a position entrustment.
Timing
IV crush within 24 hours post-earnings. Waiting for premium decay makes options preferable to spot.
Staging
Don't go all-in at once, divide into 3: initial reaction, 24 hours later, after Friday's close.
