Earnings Preview · 05 November 2026
Where our screen stands going in
Fails the principled screen, Revenue purity. A strong business is not the same as a suitable one; for a values-conscious book this is a do-not-chase regardless of the print.
What the Street expects
Consensus looks for earnings of about $2.85 a share on revenue near $4.7B. Over the next twelve months analysts pencil in $6.21 of earnings per share against $4.39 over the last twelve, growth of about 41%. The median analyst target is $185 (range $135 to $220), 5% above the $177.00 share price, across 40 analysts.
How it has traded on past prints
Across the last 24 reports, the shares moved an average of +1.1% in the five sessions after the print and +0.0% over twenty. After a beat the average follow-through was +1.8%; after a miss, -1.8%. There is no reliable drift pattern: the first move has often faded, so chasing the gap has not paid.
What options are pricing
Implied volatility near 121% prices a one-week move of roughly ±16.8% (about $147.32 to $206.68). Positioning: the heaviest put open interest sits at $150 and the heaviest call open interest at $200; those strikes tend to act as magnets or walls in the days after.
Levels that matter
At $177.00 the shares sit 9% below the 52-week high of $193.45 and 60% above the low of $110.81 (80% of the way up the range). The 50-day average is $171.96, below the price. The 200-day average is $143.94, below the price.
Valuation going in
The shares trade about 10% above our fair-value estimate: priced for things to go right. Our fair-value estimate is $160.80 against the current share price of $177.00. The shares trade at 37.9 times trailing earnings and 26.8 times forward earnings. Revenue is growing about 16% with net margins near 20%.
Our stance
We are not participants, the name fails our principled screen, so we watch it as a sentiment gauge, not a holding.
What the flow says going in
Price has run up but the money has been quietly leaving: distribution into strength. For a holder that is a trim-or-take-profit signal, not an add; the crowd sees the strength, the flow sees the exit. (21-day Chaikin Money Flow +0.04, five-day price change +6.2%, as of 2026-11-04, desk flow model).
