Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Aurora's EPS come in better than the expected $-0.12?

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The market may be underestimating Aurora's potential for revenue growth due to its recent partnerships and technological advancements in autonomous driving.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing in a large move, suggesting that traders believe significant news could be on the horizon.

Past performance shows that even slight improvements in EPS can lead to substantial stock price increases.

Key Risk

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels
