Current thesis
Post-earnings bull framing is straightforward: Energy Storage pricing and volume both improved, Specialties also grew, cost/productivity actions are tracking to a $100-$150 million full-year target, and debt reduction improved financial flexibility. Early revision signals were positive but still thin at T+3: UBS reiterated Buy with a $230 target, and visible post-print coverage also showed at least one target increase elsewhere.
