Current thesis
The bull read is that Q1 showed operational self-help starting to work: sequential sales and volume improved, Frankfurt assets restarted, management raised 2026 free-cash-flow outlook, and Q2/2H earnings guidance implies a much stronger run-rate if pricing, utilization and cost actions hold.
