Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published November 5, 2025
Earnings were better than expected and the company now plans to earn $2.38-$2.42 this year, setting a clear near-term path. The stock jumped about 14% on the news, then cooled, creating a possible buy-the-dip area. The price looked washed out and ready to rebound, and the recent average price is turning up. If AI and cloud deals keep building and lots more people are buying than usual, the move can continue.
Primary drivers
- Quarter beat; now guides full-year EPS to $2.38-$2.42, boosting confidence
- Stock looked beaten down, while the recent average price is turning up
- After results, trading jumped, showing far more buyers than usual
- Growing AI and cloud demand is lifting bookings and near-term momentum
How it played out
TDC: target stayed out of reach
Lyra published TDC on 2025-11-05 at $25 for a short-term window ending 2026-02-03. The thesis expected 30% growth. It pointed to better-than-expected earnings, full-year EPS guidance of $2.38-$2.42, a stock that had jumped about 14% and then cooled, a beaten-down setup, stronger trading, and demand tied to artificial intelligence and cloud deals.
Inside the window, TDC rose to a peak of $32.03 on 2025-12-10, a 28.1% gain. The $32.50 target was not reached. It never got there. By 2026-02-03, the stock ended at $28.02. The thesis mostly played out, but it missed the published target.
