Management cited strong cash generation and balance-sheet discipline but acknowledged trade-offs including potentially higher borrowing costs, reduced financial flexibility for buybacks or acquisitions, and elevated capex of about $800 million for fiscal 2026. Institutional interest has grown, with more hedge funds holding positions, while short interest remains moderately high at 7.23%. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
