Sentiment rationale

Raised full-year net sales guidance, margin expansion, and an inaugural dividend all indicate durable cash flow and earnings power post-spin-off. Historically, similar combinations (strong Q2 beat, higher guidance, and new dividend) tend to trigger mid-term revaluations as investors re-price the stock for higher cash returns and growth trajectory.
