Market sentiment

Sentiment has improved on higher guidance, a clearer security/automation narrative, and multiple analyst target increases, though the sharp run-up increases pullback risk.

Why HOLD?

Even with better fundamentals and new partnerships, much of the upside appears priced in after a strong rally; HOLD is warranted pending Q3 confirmation of sustained growth and execution.

Maintain the position; consider adding only on a meaningful pullback or if Q3 confirms accelerating growth and continued margin/FCF strength.
