Price is extended above the rising 9- and 21-EMAs, so execution aligns with the Free Cash Flow + Buybacks strategy by deferring entry until a pullback into the EMA support zone.

Bull points

  • you know, we talked about 210 basis point improvement in gross margins at leasing in the quarter, primarily driven by this dynamic. And I think what's reflected in our outlook is a view that this is going to be a net positive for us, that the tailwinds from lower 90 days, you might see some pressure and maybe some, you know, potentially some delinquency trends that you watch, but I'm not anticipating that they're anything significant.
  • we're pleased with the trends as we exited the quarter.

Bear points

I think we've kind of got that lens that we're looking through in the cash decisions that we're making.
