Market sentiment

Sentiment has improved on a clear earnings beat and continued organic growth; the market reaction and some target-price increases support a more constructive near-term view.

Why BUY?

The earnings beat, sixth consecutive quarter of organic growth, and updated full-year guidance reduce uncertainty around the turnaround. After the sharp price move upside valuation cushion is smaller, but momentum and guidance support gradually adding rather than waiting.

ADD in small increments (e.g., 1–3 tranches) into Q3, with a clear review/exit plan if margins or volume trends deteriorate.
