Q2 (March 18, 2026): EPS $2.69 vs $2.51 est[FMP], +7.2% beat. D+1 movement: +2.6%[FMP D+1]. Decline despite beat - market reacted to guidance, not numbers.

Three scenarios: what could happen?

EPS < $2.99 (no guidance)

Q2: EPS $2.69 vs $2.51 beat[FMP], stock +2.6% D+1[FMP].

Backlog concentration

No RPO/backlog concentration disclosed in Q2 earnings call.

CapEx shock

Q2 CapEx $95.0M[FMP cashflow]. Q2 op margin 4.7%[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 > $3.08 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $3.08[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $282[FMP target]; high target $283[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $3.08 + CapEx < $95.0M
Threshold: EPS approx $3.08[FMP est], Q4 CapEx < $95.0M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $355[FMP] and median $282[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $2.99 or CapEx >= $95.0M
Threshold: EPS < $2.99[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $355 below SMA200 $240[FMP], if rejection continues, $204[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.
