Current thesis
The constructive case is mostly operational rather than demand-led: management says major restructuring and integration projects are complete, pricing now covers current tariff rates, bedding showed relative resilience before weather disruption, and higher-value categories such as sewn mattress covers and upholstery kits grew in Q3 [#8-K-2026-03-11].
