The investigation was triggered by an OTM put whale (325 contracts at $670 strike, July 17 expiry, V/OI=11.6, notional ~$1M), suggesting bearish positioning from someone with size. However, the fundamental picture is overwhelmingly bullish: Q1 2026 EPS beat consensus by +31.8%, full-year guidance was raised, Oppenheimer just upgraded to Outperform with an $800 target, and the board authorized a new $1B buyback program at May's annual meeting.
