The next one to three months, as we saw it then
Better case20%
Operating margins bottom and Q3 guidance signals recovery, driving multiple expansion despite high valuation.
Base case50%
Continued margin pressure but no catastrophic decline. stock trades range-bound near current levels until Q3 results.
Worse case30%
Margin collapse confirmed structural. stock re-rates towards 80x P/E or lower, implying further downside from current levels.
If you hold it
Hold unless Q3 guidance shows margin recovery. trim if operating margin stays below 5% and FCF remains negative beyond Q3.
If you are watching
Entry on Q3 operating margin above 6% and positive FCF. no trade until margin trajectory clarifies.
