Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The market may be underestimating Core Scientific's potential for recovery, especially given its strong historical performance in surprising on earnings.

Supporting Evidence

The stock has shown resilience with an average 1-day move of 4.52% following earnings.

Options pricing suggests a higher expected volatility than historical averages, indicating potential for a significant move.

Insider selling may not reflect a lack of confidence but rather a strategic reallocation.

Key Risk

If revenue growth exceeds expectations, it could shift the narrative significantly.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is closely watching how Core Scientific manages its growth trajectory amidst competitive pressures.

Bull Confirmed If

Revenue growth of 15% or more compared to the previous quarter would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If
