Why it matters
Traders can update expectations for FY2026 EPS, free cash flow, and repurchases based on the raised local-currency sales and adjusted EPS ranges, alongside margin expansion drivers and segment re-acceleration commentary.
Market read
Raised guidance with specific EPS and free-cash-flow targets is a direct repricing catalyst, with additional support from margin expansion and stronger China/Asia growth.
What to watch
Product Inspection growth was modest in Q2 due to project timing; if H2 pickup disappoints, the raised full-year trajectory could face near-term skepticism.

Market effects
