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 6-year fundamental history. High = expensive vs itself.

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.

News Lean UNPROVEN LIVE— UNPROVEN LIVE-ONLY: no historical validation possible
▲ bullishnear2026-07-23
Low bar (+5.9% EPS, +11.5% revenue) relative to hyperscaler capex acceleration makes a beat likely; AI data center demand is pulling forward leasing — consensus may be underestimating velocity of new signings.
The $7.8B Northern Virginia acquisition at 6.5% initial cap rate signals confidence in long-term AI data center demand; deal is accretive and positions DLR ahead of Q2 earnings on July 23 -- analyst consensus (73% Buy) may be underweighting the scale of the asset base expansion.
