Action:Downgraded
Date:05/28/26
The score is primarily held back by weaker financial performance, with a sharp FY2026 revenue decline and multi-year margin compression, alongside softer cash-flow momentum. It is supported by a reasonably solid balance sheet and ongoing positive free cash flow, plus constructive technical momentum and an attractive income profile (high dividend yield with a moderate P/E).
