What would change my mind?

Commentary

Market tone is neutral: analyst medians sit in the mid‑$50s while highs reach the high $60s, showing dispersion and limited consensus upside [#SERP-1][#SERP-3]. Investors are cautious ahead of earnings and capex read-throughs, so near-term conviction is low [#SERP-2].
