Current thesis
Primary-source earnings evidence improved the short thesis quality: Q1 margins expanded sharply, adjusted EBITDA rose 28%, and management said favorable price-cost and manufacturing efficiencies should continue through 2026. Secondary post-print coverage also pointed to an EPS beat versus consensus, which helps explain why the initial reaction was not negative despite soft revenue.
