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
Q1 EPS > $11.88 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $11.88[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $2110[FMP target]; high target $2225[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $11.88 + CapEx < $141.4M
Threshold: EPS approx $11.88[FMP est], Q1 CapEx < $141.4M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $1520[FMP] and median $2110[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $11.52 or CapEx >= $141.4M
Threshold: EPS < $11.52[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $1520 below SMA200 $1389[FMP], if rejection continues, $1181[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.
