Bull Case
$1.2B ERP overhaul with AI-integrated supply chain delivers 2-3% COGS reduction. AI demand forecasting reduces out-of-stock during peaks.
Bear Case
ERP transition risk is material — similar to Nike's Oracle ERP incident. AI snack personalization from D2C competitors erodes shelf space.
Key Factors to Watch
- ●ERP transformation is highest-stakes near-term AI event
