Q1: EPS $1.88 vs $0.73 beat[FMP], stock -0.7% D+1[FMP].

Backlog concentration

No RPO/backlog concentration disclosed in Q1 earnings call.

CapEx shock

Q1 CapEx $65.0M[FMP cashflow]. Q1 op margin 34.1%[FMP op margin] - this level in Q1 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
Q1 EPS > $0.73 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $0.73[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $111[FMP target]; high target $127[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $0.73 + CapEx < $65.0M
Threshold: EPS approx $0.73[FMP est], Q1 CapEx < $65.0M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $116[FMP] and median $111[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $0.71 or CapEx >= $65.0M
Threshold: EPS < $0.71[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $116 below SMA200 $102[FMP], if rejection continues, $86[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.
