Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
MEI delivered a positive quarterly print with a turn in profitability (GAAP profit, positive CODB) and a clear path to margin expansion in 2027. The guidance implies growth and improved margins, which historically can lift multiple-compression compression risk and attract buyers. One-time recoveries in Q4 should be viewed as non-recurring; investors will focus on the sustainability of the 2027 outlook and the company’s ability to sustain free cash flow.
