Why consensus could be wrong
The consensus may be underestimating Victory Capital's ability to capitalize on market volatility, which could drive higher asset inflows than expected.
Supporting evidence

Key risk
If the company reports an EPS above $1.65, it could challenge the current market expectations.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The market is debating whether Victory Capital can sustain its growth trajectory amid changing market conditions.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $1.65 or higher with revenue exceeding $373 million would confirm the bull case.
Bear confirmed if
An EPS below $1.52 or revenue below $361 million would confirm the bear case.
