Current thesis
Revenue growth, higher shipments, resilient infrastructure demand, pricing actions, ESM investment, and a debt-free balance sheet could support recovery if cost inflation moderates and project delays normalize. The $39 median target implies approximately 20% upside to the $32.61 anchor, but the target count is unavailable.
