Q2 revenue beats consensus

The earnings mix leaves two competing signals for the stock. Revenue exceeded the quarterly estimate by USD 0.02 billion, but reported EPS missed by USD 0.01, making execution and merger-related effects important factors ahead of the next report.

Consensus target sits above the price
