Market sentiment

Sentiment has weakened after the earnings miss and share-price decline; commentary is centered on softer Restructuring and higher expense growth, partly offset by record full-year results and the dividend hike.

Why HOLD?

Maintain the position; consider adding only if Restructuring stabilizes or the next earnings report shows re-acceleration and better cost discipline.
