Valuation vs Own History COMMODITY — slow-moving; 60d lag; EV/EBITDA canonical
Research notes (read before interpreting):
  • The news-vs-expectations thesis is UNTESTED by the backtest (look-ahead-impossible). Only Agent 6 live forward-tracking can validate whether news_adj improves outcomes. Treat news as a bounded refinement on trial, not a proven driver.
  • Fundamentals are annual with a 60-day reporting lag; EV/EBITDA is the valuation metric (P/E broke on 45 loss-year rows). Valuation reads are slow-moving, not point-in-time precise.
Percentile within this ticker's own 4-year fundamental history. High = expensive vs itself.

Earnings Surprise Track Record COMMODITY
Canonical signal: avoid-misses is the durable edge (misses lag the basket ~4%/21d excess); beats merely match the sector once drift is stripped. Regime-dependent, effectively small-sample — not proven.

● neutral near 2026-08-07
EPS $0.80 vs $0.64 est (+25%), Q3 guide $540-560M vs $81-cent consensus — massive beats; stock -12% because whisper bar far exceeded published consensus and the stock had already rallied to price in a moonshot; retail bought the beat, professionals sold into it

▲ bullish near 2026-08-05
16% EPS beat and Q3 guidance significantly above management's own prior reaffirmation; AH -2.3% after +12.6% regular session is a 'sell the news' micro-signal — stock priced high enough that even a blowout invites profit-taking.

▲ bullish near 2026-08-03
Stock down ~45% from highs implies dramatic expectations reset despite consecutive beat quarters; Q2 guide of $355-365M is the floor with avg 21.42% upside vs consensus historically; 200bps gross margin headwind from customer warrant agreement is well-telegraphed so the real surprise will come from revenue or EPS upside.
