With the stock up ~29% YTD, at record highs and already trading above the ~$255 avg sell-side target, the out-period math caps upside: management is deliberately cutting rate/giving up margin, so underlying auto CR normalizes toward mid-90s and forward EPS estimates get trimmed even after the headline beat. Expect an initial pop that partially fades as analysts mark down out-quarters and profit-taking resumes.",
