Market sentiment

Sentiment is neutrally stable: attention has shifted from product/growth narratives to cybersecurity and recovery, but full operational restoration and unchanged guidance have contained negativity.

Why HOLD?

Hold/wait: maintain the position and reassess after Q2 results and any disclosures on incident costs, insurance recoveries, and customer impact.
