Confirming evidence

  • • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +3.2.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • Full-year guidance was maintained rather than raised, and its achievement depends partly on second-half cost recovery.
  • • Higher material costs, inflation, customs duties, and tariffs pressured profitability.
  • • The Q2 adjusted loss, lower adjusted EBITDA, negative year-to-date free cash flow, material-cost inflation, tariffs, and unfavorable volume/mix leave limited room for execution misses.
