Expectations

Wall Street Expectations

Bear Case

Continued losses or disappointing revenue figures could lead to further declines in stock price, as investor confidence wanes.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be for Q2-2023?

EPS is a critical measure of profitability that can significantly influence investor sentiment and stock price.

How has revenue changed compared to previous quarters?

Understanding revenue trends is essential for assessing the company's growth potential and operational efficiency.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating the potential for revenue recovery in the energy sector, particularly for companies like Kenon that are positioned for growth.

Supporting Evidence

Options pricing suggests a larger move than historical averages, indicating potential volatility.

The company's recent losses may not fully reflect operational improvements that could lead to a turnaround.

Key Risk

If Kenon reports an EPS above -$0.10, it could challenge the current negative sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating whether Kenon can turn its financial performance around after a series of losses.

Bull Confirmed If

A positive EPS of $0.10 or better would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS loss greater than $0.20 would confirm the bear case.
