Bullish Case: INFY at $12.52 sits near the Helium density peak (~$12) and market-implied mode ($12-13) in the Future Price Uncertainty graph, with bullish risk 17% above bearish across tenors and call volume 66% higher than puts. AI revenue at 10.5% and growing 29% q/q, $8.8B H1 deal wins (68% net-new), a $2B+ mega deal, and 21% maintained margins support mean reversion after a -23.7% year and -44.9% five-year drawdown. The backwardated term structure prices near-term uncertainty that could resolve favorably if Q3 execution stabilizes guidance.

Bearish Case: The October guidance cut to 1-2% CC growth (second consecutive cut, deeper than analysts expected), North America weakness, AI-driven pricing deflation on multi-year deals, and a European contract exit signal structural pressure. Project Maximus efficiencies mask revenue stagnation; Brent crude above $114 and Fed hike risk keep India macro fragile, and SPY's surface shows rich downside IV wings signaling macro tail risk. Helium's own AI forecast reads -4.89%.

Potential Outcomes:

1. Range $11.5-13.2 through Jan-2027 (40%) — both density distributions peak here; falsified by a close outside the band.
2. Drift to $10.5-11.5 (22%) — guidance cut follow-through, INR/crude pressure; rich downside-strike IVs (50-62%) persist.
3. Recovery $13.2-14.5 (20%) — Q3 beat, AI deal cadence accelerates; falsified if short-dated IV spikes instead.
4. Macro shock, -12%+ (12%) — SPY downside wing hotness, Fed December hike, crude escalation.
5. Rally >$14.5 (6%) — requires large contract surprise; lowest mass in both densities.
