Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A clean beat on top-line and profitability metrics, reinforced guidance, and a measurable cost-reduction program (Elevate) should lift cash flow visibility and margins. The 2027 restructuring adds clarity on growth drivers, potentially supporting multiple expansion as investors gain confidence in ROIC and long-term value creation, similar to prior periods where cost cuts and new segments boosted margins.
