The news check keeps the assessment current.
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.
The US launch confirms execution on the growth strategy outside core markets and supports the add signal despite temporarily softer analyst tone.
Sentiment remains positive on the expansion strategy but has softened slightly after the analyst downgrade and share price decline.
BUY is the call. Positive is the market mood. Low risk means less can go wrong.

Bull case
US expansion via Target and new products strengthen long-term growth outside core markets.
Bear case
Valuation is stretched after prior gains and requires rapid profitability from the new initiatives.
Why this signal
