Management emphasized:
- Continuous improvement in EBITA and a rising operating margin.
- Ongoing artificial‑intelligence initiatives aimed at supporting future growth.
- No material changes to existing guidance; focus remains on sustaining gradual demand strengthening across key markets.
Analysts reaffirmed a buy recommendation, citing a positive valuation trajectory and a modest expectation of a favourable market reaction to the earnings announcement.
