Why it matters
Traders can use the Q&A to refine expectations for 2H margin expansion (price realization, cost normalization, productivity) and the revenue timing of long-cycle orders (mostly 2027, some 2H 2026).
Market read
Q2 beats and unchanged full-year EPS guidance, plus detailed explanations of volume-led growth and China-driven margin pressure, provide actionable inputs for post-earnings positioning.
What to watch

Market effects

Highlights stronger order momentum in North America and China, but China remains the key margin pressure driver.
