N/A

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will the EPS exceed the consensus estimate of $0.28?

A beat on EPS would indicate improved profitability and could boost investor confidence, while a miss could lead to further declines.

What is the company's outlook on revenue growth for the upcoming quarters?

Clear guidance on revenue growth is essential for assessing the company's ability to recover and expand in a competitive market.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating the potential for DENTSPLY SIRONA to rebound, as recent operational adjustments could lead to better-than-expected results this quarter.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing an 8.7% move, suggesting significant uncertainty that could work in favor of a surprise beat.

Despite recent misses, the company has a history of strong rebounds following operational improvements.

Key Risk

If the EPS exceeds $0.30, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment and lead to a reassessment of the company's growth potential.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's performance is critical for DENTSPLY SIRONA as it seeks to regain investor trust after a series of earnings misses.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.30 or higher would confirm the bull case, indicating strong operational performance.

Bear Confirmed If
