CapEx shock

Q2 CapEx $82.4M[FMP cashflow]. Q2 op margin 31.0%[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 > $7.69 + CapEx discipline
Threshold: EPS > $7.69[FMP est].
Target: Break above median target $1800[FMP target]; high target $2100[FMP] upper bound.
Scenario B - In-Line
EPS approx $7.69 + CapEx < $82.4M
Threshold: EPS approx $7.69[FMP est], Q1 CapEx < $82.4M[FMP].
Target: Consolidation in the band between current $1402[FMP] and median $1800[FMP].
Scenario C - Miss
EPS < $7.46 or CapEx >= $82.4M
Threshold: EPS < $7.46[FMP estx0.97].
Target: Current $1402 below SMA200 $1223[FMP], if rejection continues, $1040[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.
