Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong top-line growth, expanding margins, and upgraded FY2027 guidance support near-term stock upside. The spin-off adds optionality and potential multiple expansion, though $24M separation costs modestly weigh FCF in the near term. Historical analogs show earnings-driven rallies when guidance is raised and corporate restructurings are announced.
