Current thesis
Post-earnings evidence improved: Q2 beat on revenue and adjusted EPS, same-store sales were strong, and FY2026 adjusted EBITDA and EPS guidance moved higher [#8-K-2026-05-07]. With the anchor price at $35.87 versus a median target of $41.6, the setup supports a modest upside case if execution stays clean.
Posture

Lead driver
Value
What changed
Value remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +0.1.
What can break
First-half continuing-operations earnings remained only $13.1 million despite the strong quarter, reflecting the drag from higher interest expense and other items in the six-month bridge from the earnings release.
