Key catalyst

Investor/analyst day or strategic update • 2026-09-30

Expected move: -8%

Biggest risk

Slower industrial spending, project delays, or margin pressure from raw-material/labor cost inflation compresses margins and revenue, pushing the shares toward the low end of analyst targets.

Invalidation

Break below $105 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Execution of margin expansion initiatives and stronger-than-expected industrial end-market demand lift revenue and multiple expansion toward peers; contract wins accelerate growth and produce sustained upside to consensus.
