CapEx shock

Q2 CapEx $12.0M[FMP cashflow]. Q2 op margin -76.8%[FMP op margin] - this level in Q2 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
Q2 EPS > $0.47 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $0.47[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $122[FMP target]; high target $160[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $0.47 + CapEx < $12.0M
Threshold: EPS approx $0.47[FMP est], Q2 CapEx < $12.0M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $95[FMP] and median $122[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $0.46 or CapEx >= $12.0M
Threshold: EPS < $0.46[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $95 below SMA200 $98[FMP], if rejection continues, $83[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.
