The Q1 template \u2014 a beat-and-raise still sold off ~11% on the memory/tariff margin and FCF overhang \u2014 is the base case: headline EPS/revenue beat and another FX/Silvus-led top-line raise, but soft P&SI margin and muted FCF reignite the peak-margin debate. Out-period math is unfavorable: the FY raise is largely FX + Silvus rather than core margin, so estimate revisions on EPS/FCF stay flat-to-down even after the beat, giving little fuel for follow-through. Expect an initial negative reaction that continues to bleed as sell-side trims margin assumptions and the pre-print run-up unwinds; STABILIZE only if P&SI margin holds sequentially and management sounds confident on memory-cost price offsets.",
