Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may be underestimating the potential for a rebound in occupancy rates as travel demand continues to recover post-pandemic.
Supporting evidence
The options market is pricing in an 11.57% move, suggesting higher volatility expectations than historical averages.
The company has a history of surprising the market, and recent trends in travel could favor a positive outcome.
Key risk
If occupancy rates show significant improvement, it could lead to a substantial upward revision of earnings expectations.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
This quarter's performance is critical as it follows a series of earnings misses, and the market is keenly watching for signs of recovery.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $0.27 or higher would confirm the bull case, indicating improved profitability.
Bear confirmed if
An EPS below $0.25 would confirm the bear case, suggesting continued operational challenges.
