Current thesis
The official Q2 release supports a cautiously constructive operating view: Americas/ROW delivered strong growth, the Ecuador port sale is expected to provide approximately $95 million of cumulative net proceeds, and management retained its approximately $400 million FY26 Adjusted EBITDA target. The packet's pre-release Zacks context also cited a low forward P/E screen, although analyst coverage is limited.
