Expect a strong positive reaction to the beat and raised guidance. Monitor the Gulf of America acquisition closing in Q3 and the Daenerys appraisal results by year-end for further upside. Given historical pattern of high-score reports underperforming, consider trimming on strength if the stock gaps up significantly.
