Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Upbeat 2Q26 results coupled with higher FY guidance signal durable earnings growth, while the Oct 1 spin-off milestone provides a clear near-term catalyst. Historically, earnings beats and corporate separations tend to lift stock on clarity and visibility, though execution risk exists around the split and execution costs.
