General analysis — not personal advice.
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.
Strong volume growth, early achievement of the margin target and continued US expansion confirm that the growth strategy outside core markets is progressing as planned.
The market reacts positively to volume-driven growth and the early achievement of the margin target, although analysts note short-term uncertainty in Q4.
BUY is the call. Positive is the market mood. Low risk means less can go wrong.
