Current thesis
The post-earnings bull case is that 1Q26 showed a real profitability reset: EPS rose 36.5% year over year, variable contribution posted its first year-over-year increase since 3Q22, BCO utilization improved, and management's April update pointed to pricing materially ahead of normal seasonality. MarketBeat showed EPS and revenue both above consensus, and Benzinga reported post-print target increases from Stifel, Truist, Susquehanna, and Evercore while those firms kept Hold, Neutral, or In-Line style ratings.
