Market sentiment

Sentiment has improved as the divestiture is viewed as strategic refocusing with potential margin/balance-sheet benefits, though uncertainty remains around execution and deal terms.

Why NEUTRAL?

This is a material catalyst that can reshape revenue mix, leverage and valuation; the stance should be revisited once there is more clarity on proceeds use, pro forma targets and closing/timing risk.

Wait/review positioning until there is clearer visibility on closing, pro forma guidance and capital allocation (e.g., debt paydown vs buybacks).
