Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be this quarter, and will it meet or exceed $0.00?

Given the company's recent history of missing EPS estimates, this will be a key indicator of financial health and investor sentiment.

How has customer acquisition changed in the last quarter?

Changes in customer acquisition costs can indicate how effectively Dingdong is competing in the market and whether it is gaining or losing market share.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Dingdong's ability to improve customer acquisition through innovative marketing strategies, which could lead to better-than-expected revenue growth.

Supporting Evidence

Options are pricing a 37.88% move, indicating that the market expects significant volatility, which may not align with the company's actual performance.

Dingdong's recent focus on enhancing delivery efficiency could lead to improved customer satisfaction and retention, which is not fully reflected in current estimates.

Key Risk

If customer acquisition costs decrease significantly, it could lead to a surprise in revenue growth, challenging the current bearish outlook.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's results will be pivotal in determining whether Dingdong can turn around its recent performance and regain investor confidence.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.01 or better, coupled with positive revenue growth, would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS of less than $0.00 and stagnant or declining revenue would confirm the bear case.
