DE raised FY2020 GAAP EPS guidance to $7.12* from the prior guidance range of $5.06-6.33 given three months ago, when the fallout from COVID-19 was hard to quantify. (The new FY2020 guidance is still less than the original FY2020 guidance of $9.18 given in Nov 2019 and the $10.13 achieved in FY2019.)

As I’m typing, the stock is +5% to an all-time high.
