Confirming evidence

  • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +26.2.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • Adjusted EBITDA declined despite revenue growth, with elevated SG&A and one-time operating headwinds. [#SEC-8K-2026-09-02]
  • Free-cash-flow outflow and higher inventory create execution and liquidity sensitivity during production transfers. [#EARNINGS-TRANSCRIPT-2027Q1]
  • Sales growth did not translate into higher adjusted EBITDA, SG&A increased, free cash flow turned negative, and the transformation remains exposed to execution volatility and production-transfer costs.
