8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▲ Bullish

The strong beat on Adjusted EPS combined with significant deleveraging and narrowing Interactive losses suggests the turnaround story is gaining traction. Traders should watch for continued momentum in the Interactive segment and further margin expansion in Retail, with the Alberta launch (July 13) as a near-term catalyst.
