Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Strong quarterly results (8% order intake, 3% sales growth), margin expansion (13.0%), and solid cash flow support near-term upside; a reiteration of full-year guidance reinforces confidence. Regulatory risk from the DOJ matter adds a potential overhang but is not disclosed as material enough to derail the outlook.
