Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Despite an earnings beat and guidance raise, the stock sold off >5% after hours, suggesting investors may have anticipated the magnitude of the raise or are concerned about margins/absorption of higher costs. Historically, a strong print with modest upside can gap lower if guidance details disappoint or if multiples compress on cautious consumer outlook.
