At close

2026-07-18

Current thesis

The earnings release materially improved the near-term setup: record orders, an EPS beat, and a guidance raise support a cautious positive revision to the prior neutral stance, especially with HST benefiting from AI/data-center and semiconductor demand [#8-K-2026-04-29].

Posture
