Key catalyst

Next quarterly earnings release (estimated) • 2026-05-02

Expected move: +11%

Biggest risk

Bear: lower construction/infrastructure activity or margin pressure from input costs leads to downside toward analyst low; temporary order softness or FX could depress near-term earnings.

Invalidation

Break below $90 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Bull: execution on margin expansion and stronger-than-expected demand pushes shares to the analyst high (or above) as multiple expansion follows revenue beat.

Aggregator pages show a buy-leaning stance but mixed point estimates, signaling cautious optimism tied to near-term results and backlog data [#SERP-1]..
