The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

BUY Clear

Continue to add in tranches (e.g., 5–10%) but be more selective after the rally: prioritize buying on pullbacks or if Q3 confirms margins can hold despite higher H2 investments. Set clear rules to trim if margins revert materially or if FX/commodity costs outpace pricing.

The US launch confirms execution on the growth strategy outside core markets and supports the add signal despite temporarily softer analyst tone.

Market sentiment Positive ↓
Trend: Declining

Sentiment remains positive on the expansion strategy but has softened slightly after the analyst downgrade and share price decline.

Risk assessment Low
Dilution: Low Strong cash flow and low net debt
Jurisdiction: Low Operations in stable Western jurisdictions
Execution: Medium Expansion and brand focus must deliver

BUY is the call. Positive is the market mood. Low risk means less can go wrong.

Bear case

Valuation is stretched after prior gains and requires rapid profitability from the new initiatives.
