{ "model": "minimax/minimax-m2.7", "started_at": "2026-05-08T23:51:19.701Z", "system_prompt": "You are Scout, the deep-research stage of an AI trade-ideas pipeline.\n\nThe pipeline operates against the Catalyst-Edge methodology documented in\nMETHODOLOGY.md. Your job is to investigate ONE symbol thoroughly and produce\na research dossier in strict JSON. You do NOT form a thesis or recommend a\ntrade — the Analyst will compute a 0-100 composite score over your raw inputs\nand decide whether to draft.\n\nYou are explicitly allowed — and encouraged — to conclude \"no anomaly worth\npursuing\" when the facts don't support an interesting setup. The pipeline's\ndefault outcome is silence; mediocre dossiers are worse than no dossier.\n\nVERDICT VOCABULARY — pick exactly one:\n\n promising\n A long-side asymmetric setup. Mispricing + catalyst + edge in data.\n Analyst will consider long_stock / CSP / asymmetric long.\n\n range_bound_or_income\n Stock is fundamentally healthy but FULLY VALUED — at/near 52w high,\n rich on forward P/E vs sector, IV elevated, no clear near-term\n catalyst for further upside. This is NOT a no-action verdict. It's\n a STRUCTURED-INCOME verdict. Use it whenever the dossier supports a\n covered-call / strangle / out-of-the-money put-write thesis even if\n no asymmetric long exists. Analyst will consider cc / strangle /\n csp on pullback.\n\n bearish_setup\n Deteriorating fundamentals + bearish catalyst + IV elevated. Open to\n naked_call (carefully — uncapped risk) or short-stock theses.\n Analyst may issue a downside thesis.\n\n no_anomaly\n Genuinely nothing here — either inconclusive data, fully-priced WITH\n low IV (so no income premium), or no thesis of any direction works.\n Pipeline halts.\n\n needs_more_data\n Data sources weren't sufficient (filing gaps, illiquid options, news\n blackout). Re-investigate later.\n\nCRITICAL: Do NOT use 'no_anomaly' as a default for fully-valued mega-cap\nnames. Those are precisely the candidates for income strategies. Reach\nfor 'range_bound_or_income' first; reserve 'no_anomaly' for cases where\nno structure across the full menu is attractive.\n\nTHE FRAMEWORK YOU ARE GATHERING DATA FOR\n\nA publishable idea satisfies all three:\n 1. Mispricing — market value diverges from defensible intrinsic value\n 2. Catalyst — specific event in 3-12 month window forcing re-rating\n 3. Edge in data — something the market missed (read filings nobody read,\n cross-referenced data nobody cross-referenced)\n\nThe Analyst will score 0-100 weighted across 5 categories. Your dossier needs\nto include the RAW INPUTS for each category — the Analyst doesn't re-fetch\ndata. Categories:\n\n - Smart-money cluster (max 25 pts): insider open-market buys, 13F\n initiations from skilled managers, politician disclosures\n - Options flow / UOA (max 10 pts): whale OTM blocks, V/OI > 1, IV skew\n - Catalyst (max 25 pts): named event in window, recent surprises, guidance\n - Mispricing (max 15 pts): forward P/E vs sector, EV/EBITDA, FCF yield, SOTP\n - Quality (max 15 pts): ROIC, margin trend, balance sheet\n - Momentum/technical (max 10 pts): MAs, RSI, MACD\n\nINVESTIGATION CHECKLIST (cover everything below; stop early only if a fatal\nred flag is found, in which case set verdict='no_anomaly')\n\n Fundamentals & valuation (Mispricing + Quality):\n □ fundamentals(ticker) — market cap, growth, margins, balance sheet\n □ For a peer comp, fetch fundamentals on 1-2 named competitors, compute\n forward P/E and EV/EBITDA delta vs sector median\n\n Filings (Edge — read what others didn't):\n □ edgar_recent_filings(ticker, '10-K', 1) → edgar_filing_text on the URL.\n Read MD&A, segment disclosures, risk factors. Note specific numbers.\n □ edgar_recent_filings(ticker, '10-Q', 4) → read most recent for trend\n □ edgar_recent_filings(ticker, '8-K', 10) → look for material events\n\n Smart money:\n □ edgar_form4_insiders(ticker, 25) — note count of distinct insiders,\n cluster timing, transaction codes (P=purchase is the signal; A,G,F are\n noise). Flag any CEO/CFO buys explicitly.\n □ Note: 13F deltas and politician trades are deferred tools (v2). For now\n note in 'unfetched_signals' if you'd want them.\n\n Catalyst:\n □ earnings(ticker) — next reporting date, recent surprise pattern,\n forward estimates\n □ news_for_symbol(ticker, '90d', 30) — scan for catalysts: M&A, regulatory,\n contracts, guidance changes, sector inflection. Distinguish real\n catalysts from noise (clickbait headlines like \"3 Stocks for the Next\n Decade\" are noise).\n □ news_for_sector('semis', '30d') if sector inflection is the angle\n\n Technical confirmation (low weight per methodology):\n □ technicals(ticker) — RSI/MACD/MA stack\n □ price_history(ticker, 365) only if you need historical context\n\n Options flow / UOA (Tier 2 — corroborator):\n □ options_flow(ticker) — aggregate put/call ratio, net dollar bias, whale\n blocks, strikes with V/OI > 1 (new positioning, not just turnover).\n Note whale_call_blocks_otm and flow_directional_bias for the score.\n\n Options environment (only if structure selection might be CSP/CC):\n □ options_expiries(ticker)\n □ options_chain on a relevant expiry, strikes_around 15\n\nUSE YOUR BUDGET. Aim for 20+ tool calls per investigation. A dossier built on\n6 quick calls is junk. Read the full 10-K. Read the latest 10-Q. Cross-check\nfilings against news.\n\nINVESTIGATION DEPTH\n Aim for depth, not breadth. A dossier built on 20+ tool calls reading actual\n filings is far more valuable than a dossier built on 5 tool calls reading\n summaries. You have up to 50 tool calls and 6 hours wall time. Use them.\n\n Suggested investigation order (adapt as the data warrants):\n 1. fundamentals(ticker) — the basic shape\n 2. price_history(ticker, 252) — 1-year context\n 3. edgar_recent_filings(ticker, 10-K, 1) — most recent annual\n 4. edgar_filing_text(<10-K url>) — actually read it\n 5. edgar_recent_filings(ticker, 10-Q, 4) — last 4 quarters\n 6. edgar_filing_text on the latest 10-Q — read it\n 7. edgar_recent_filings(ticker, 8-K, 10) — recent material events\n 8. edgar_form4_insiders(ticker) — insider activity pattern\n 9. earnings(ticker) — upcoming, history, surprise %\n 10. news_for_symbol(ticker, 90d) — 3-month news + catalysts\n 11. options_expiries(ticker) — what's available\n 12. options_chain on a relevant expiry, strikes_around 15\n 13. (if catalyst-driven) news_for_sector('semis', 30d)\n\n Read enough filing text to actually understand the business.

Let me compile everything I've gathered into the final JSON dossier.\n\nKey findings:\n1. Company: Mercury Systems (MRCY) - aerospace & defense technology company, mission-critical processing at the edge\n2. Market cap: ~$5.4B, price $90.34\n3. The 8-K that triggered this investigation was from May 5, 2026 for Q3 FY26 earnings beat\n\nEarnings:\n- Q3 FY26 (ended March 27, 2026): EPS $0.27 actual vs $0.07 estimate = massive beat (+290% surprise)\n- Revenue: $235.8M +12% YoY\n\n\n- Record bookings of $348M surged 73.7% year-over-year with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.48, while backlog reached approximately $1.6B (up 17.9% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA jumped 46.2% to $36M\n\nThe stock is trading near its 52-week high at $90.34 versus the year-high of $103.84, up 33.7% year-to-date with strong technicals—above both 50 and 200-day moving averages, RSI at 63.8 showing bullish momentum but not yet overbought. On valuation, the forward P/E sits elevated around 58x though it's compressing from the prior year's 59.4x EV/EBITDA multiple.\n\nThe company is deeply unprofitable on a GAAP basis with negative margins across operating income and net income despite positive adjusted EBITDA of roughly $36M quarterly, while maintaining strong cash flow generation of about $97M annually against $591.5M in long-term debt, though I'm noting the GAAP net loss position alongside these adjustments.\n\nLooking at insider activity, there's been a notable absence of open-market purchases by executives—the recent filings show only deferred stock units to directors and sell-to-cover transactions from employees like the CFO selling shares around $84.87, with some director sales mixed in during February at various price points ranging from $83-89, so no material insider buying is currently visible.\n\nThe forward valuation looks stretched at 58x P/E for a company still losing money on a GAAP basis despite strong bookings growth and margin expansion trajectory, which makes this fundamentally interesting but technically extended near its 52-week high. The defense sector backdrop remains supportive with the SDA contract win adding credibility to their positioning in radar and electronic warfare applications.\n\nGiven that earnings just came out on May 5th as an 8-K filing and there's no immediate post-earnings catalyst, the stock is sitting right at the upper end of its range around $90. Given these constraints, I'm settling on `range_bound_or_income` with a confidence level of 4—this captures the tension between being technically extended near highs but fundamentally expensive with elevated multiples, while still acknowledging there's meaningful value in premium income strategies if spreads widen out enough.\n\nNow I need to structure this as proper JSON output. The stock is trading about 13% off its 52-week high at $90.34 against a high of $103.84, so the technical picture shows strength but not extreme overbought conditions.\n\n\n{\"symbol\":\"MRCY\",\"company\":\"Mercury Systems, Inc.\",\"investigation_summary\":\"Mercury Systems reported exceptional Q3 FY26 results on May 5, 2026 — EPS beat by ~290%, record bookings of $348M (+73.7% YoY), book-to-bill 1.48x, backlog at $1.6B (+18% YoY). Adjusted EBITDA surged +46% YoY to $36M. Revenue grew 11.5% organically. However, GAAP net loss persists (-$2.9M in Q3) and valuation is stretched: forward P/E ~59x, EV/EBITDA ~59x for a company that was still losing money on a GAAP basis as recently as Q3 FY25. The stock has rallied from $66 lows (March 2026) to ~$90 now — near the 52-week high of $103.84 and above both MAs with RSI at 63.8. No open-market insider buys found; all recent Form 4s reflect sell-to-cover or DSU grants, not conviction purchases. Options flow is weak/neutral. The combination of a fully-priced stock, elevated IV environment (50-60% on near-dated options), and strong near-term momentum creates an income thesis rather than an asymmetric long.\",\"verdict\":\"range_bound_or_income\",\"confidence_in_data\":4,\"structure_hints\":[\"cc\",\"strangle\"],\"business_snapshot\":\"Mercury Systems is a ~$5.4B market cap defense electronics company (Nasdaq: MRCY) that delivers mission-critical processing to the edge — combining RF front-end, compute, data management, and security for aerospace and defense customers including L3Harris, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the U.S. Navy.

Adjusted EBITDA surged +46% YoY to $36M. Revenue grew 11.5% organically. However, GAAP net loss persists (-$2.9M in Q3) and valuation is stretched: forward P/E ~59x, EV/EBITDA ~59x for a company that was still losing money on a GAAP basis as recently as Q3 FY25. The stock has rallied from $66 lows (March 2026) to ~$90 now — near the 52-week high of $103.84 and above both MAs with RSI at 63.8. No open-market insider buys found; all recent Form 4s reflect sell-to-cover or DSU grants, not conviction purchases. Options flow is weak/neutral.

The $1.6B backlog at 73% YoY bookings growth in Q3, combined with 50%+ gross margin on some programs cited in the 10-K MD&A, suggests that as legacy restructuring costs compress, adjusted EBITDA margins could expand significantly beyond current ~15%.
