MARA earnings likely to disappoint; massive estimate cuts signal downside
MARA faces a bearish setup despite recent 10.21% rally. Estimates have been revised DOWN 488.5%, suggesting the market is repricing the AI infrastructure narrative sharply downward. Insiders have sold $3.9M (12 transactions) in the 90 days leading into earnings, with timing concentrated just before the event. Extreme bullish options positioning (P/C 0.26) is a contrarian sell signal. The stock is at 52w high but in a downtrend, indicating the recent rally is a bounce, not a breakout. Sell-the-news probability is 50%, elevated from the 40% base rate.
