Thesis

REVISED MAY 9: EHIQ 38% → 20% after Kalshi 33%→2% move. We underweighted Bad Bunny's structural H1 2026 Latin streaming dominance. What we kept: Iceman (May 15 release + post-release tour) is still pre-release — that is the entire remaining bull case and the asymmetric upside Kalshi 2% doesn't credit. Kalshi pricing Iceman as already failed pre-release is too aggressive when the catalyst hasn't fired. Drake catalog dominance through H2 is the secondary thesis. Next calibration review post-May 15 release once first-week + week-1 streaming data is in.
