â–²(7.92% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/28/26
The score is driven primarily by softened financial performance (sharp FY2026 reported revenue decline and multi-year margin compression) partly offset by a relatively solid balance sheet and still-positive cash generation. Technicals are supportive with the price above major moving averages and positive MACD, and valuation looks fair with a mid-teens P/E and a moderate dividend yield.
