Current thesis

So what
Balanced signals (Net Neutral). Wait for confirmation before sizing up.
Confirming evidence
- • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +6.3.
Contradictions & invalidation
- • Board turnover adds a small governance overhang after director Christopher M. Hix notified the company he would leave the board effective March 31, 2026 [#8-K-2026-03-20].
- • Deterministic priors remain neutral to slightly negative across 20d-120d horizons, which argues against an aggressive upside stance despite decent primary-source support.
- • The bear case is that organic growth remains modest, Europe & Australia is still negative organically, recent growth has been helped by acquisitions and FX, and the current evidence set does not yet prove a sharper acceleration beyond a monitoring setup.
