Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The company delivered a strong top-line expansion and robust cash generation, while guiding higher full-year targets and confirming synergy-driven EBITDA upside from the Dowlais acquisition. Historically, such combinations yield short- to mid-term multiple expansion as cash flow and margin improvements become visible; risk lies in execution and macro demand.
