Consistent execution against consensus with the stock following through is the cleanest signal a guidance regime is calibrated. Worth watching for the inflection where execution deteriorates relative to the bar.
Raised guidance 8 quarters in a row
SampleConsecutive raises tighten the bar quarter over quarter. Watch the most recent print for the magnitude of the beat — a smaller beat against a higher bar is the early signal that the regime is breaking.
