After a beat the stock rose 75% of the time (4 beats).
How credible is its guidance?
GAAP tax rate: of 5 guided periods, 3 came in beyond the better end of the range, 0 within and 2 short of it; 3 of 5 on the better side of the midpoint (lower is better), on average +5.0% against the midpoint (+ is better). Guidance has been conservative: results beat the range itself. On that record the odds the next lands on the better side of the midpoint are about 57%.
Position in the range: 0 is the worse end, 1 the better end (for costs and tax rates, lower). Odds are the record plus one each way (Laplace), not a forecast.
