That guidance didn’t age much, some people thought during the earnings report that H2 might be weaker than H1 according to the guidance 
. On the other hand, the guidance was in the form of “over”, so in that sense, they didn’t guide incorrectly.
Claes’s counterattack to the fools who sold based on some rumors spread by a journalist 
. Congratulations to those who managed to buy yesterday’s dip, I missed it myself.
And for the joke of the day:
The release states the guidance update in plural “in upcoming quarterly reportS”, so they are already announcing in advance that the guidance will be updated in several upcoming quarterly reports 
Edit. And a few more EBIT calculations:
-Actual figures from Google’s AI, as I couldn’t find EBIT numbers from the earnings reports (I only found rows for operative profit and profit before tax, but not profit before interest and tax, and I don’t know the terminology well enough to say which differently named terms might be the same thing. So there might be a few million in either direction.)
Q1: 131.3m
Q2: 144.97m
H1: 276.2m
By 12.9. 400m, meaning Q3 EBIT already over 123.8m → could reach close to 150m level.
By all logic, over 500m will be reached in 2025? Potentially closer to 600m, unless Q4 is weaker.
