That's still enough to tank an IPO.
Yep, in the face of the infinite growth monster, anything other than exceeding expectations is seen as a failure
"We see here you're up 5%, but you were up 5% last year too, so you're dead now."

I still remember a line from a boss I had in one of my very first "real" jobs. "I expect you to exceed my expectations."
I didn't bother pointing out the problem there. I also didn't stay working for her for very long. :)
Yup it's all about expected growth.
Can you buy puts on an IPO?
