    JUSTIFIEDCONFIDENCE5/5

    Sterling Infrastructure rose 9.6% after reporting a major Q3 earnings and revenue beat and sharply raising full-year adjusted EPS and sales guidance. The after-hours pullback does not change that the day's move is supported by materially stronger reported results and outlook.

    WHYA 9.6% move is proportionate to a 35% EPS beat, 31% sales beat, and roughly 7%-15% raised guidance ranges.
