Current thesis
The best near-term bull read is that the first standalone quarter beat expectations, FY2026 guidance was reaffirmed, and capital return was formalized quickly after the spin. UBS raised its target to $49 from $43 and lifted EBITDA estimates, which supports a constructive revision path if execution stays clean.
