Commentary

Market sentiment is cautiously constructive after a strong Q4 2025 print, with analysts’ median targets above the current anchor supporting upside expectations [#SERP-8]. However, investor focus remains on instrument order cadence and integration execution, which injects near-term uncertainty [#SERP-2]. Overall tone is mixed‑positive with upside skew if demand and margins hold [#SERP-1].
