Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may be underestimating the potential for a positive surprise given the company's recent performance and the volatility in the gold market.
Supporting evidence
The previous quarter's EPS surprise was exceptionally high, indicating potential for continued positive momentum.
Options pricing suggests a significant move, which could reflect investor expectations for a surprise in either direction.
Key risk
If the EPS comes in better than expected, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
This quarter's performance is particularly important as it follows a strong previous quarter, and any deviation from expectations could significantly impact investor sentiment.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $-0.10 or better would confirm the bull case and suggest recovery in profitability.
Bear confirmed if
An EPS worse than $-0.30 would support the bear case and raise concerns about ongoing losses.
