I would only be throwing darts if I were to guess on the downside. It would depend on how much they miss by.
I will say that I'm comfortable holding into earnings for two reasons:
1) They took whats known as a "big bath" last quarter and took a 1.4 billion dollar one-time expense. Otherwise they would have been profitable for a forth straight quarter.
2) Being front-runners for a $1.8 billion dollar beverage producer tells me they have some free-cash flow and the ability to get financing for whatever they can't afford, both suggest profitability.
