Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK) Q2 FY2027 — Reference $80.54 is the completed October 27 close.

Deckers reported stronger EPS, but DTC comps weakened and its refund-adjusted guidance midpoint slipped. We lower our prior B...

Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) Q3 2026 — Reference close $622.99 on October 27. The October 22 daily trading window gained 6.96%; release time is unconfirmed, so this is not a precise earnings-reaction measure.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (CDNS) Q3 2026 — Reference close $322.17 on October 26, up 1.79% for the trading day.

Amkor Technology, Inc. (AMKR) Q3 2026 — Reference price $36.81 is the October 26 regular-session close before the after-close earnings release.

Computing and automotive demand changed the mix, but cash equipment spending still exceeded operating cash generation....

Celestica Inc. (CLS) Q3 2026 — The $246.40 reference quote was captured before this earnings release; the same-day decline is not a verified earnings reaction.

We examine the capacity bill, receivable financing and dilution behind the next phase of expansion. THE CALL: HOLD (3/5, MODER...

THE CALL: HOLD (3/5, MODERATE) — A...
