Q2 2026
Growth profile looks mature or currently muted, which can cap multiple expansion unless execution improves.
Cash generation stands out versus market value, which helps the stock absorb valuation pressure better than weaker cash converters.
Valuation already asks investors to pay up, so the upside case depends on continued execution staying strong.
Expect a more volatile ride than the market average; that can amplify upside, but drawdowns can come fast too.
