Why consensus could be wrong
The consensus may underestimate the potential for a rebound in oil prices, which could positively impact BSM's earnings more than expected.
Supporting evidence
Despite recent misses, BSM has historically shown strong recovery potential when oil prices rise.
Options pricing suggests a significant move, indicating that traders are anticipating a larger reaction than the consensus reflects.
Key risk
If oil prices rise significantly, it could lead to better-than-expected revenue and earnings, contradicting current market expectations.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The market is debating whether BSM can turn around its recent performance after a series of disappointing earnings.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $0.27 or higher would confirm the bull case, indicating a strong recovery in profitability.
Bear confirmed if
An EPS below $0.23 would confirm the bear case, suggesting ongoing challenges in meeting market expectations.
