What's driving ESCA

This is an insider selling disclosure, not a fundamental company update. It may slightly affect sentiment but is unlikely to change near-term fundamentals by itself.
Q2 earnings call discloses margin expansion, working-capital progress, and planned use of tariff refunds, shaping near-term expectations for profitability and cash flow.
Tariff refund recovery and margin expansion are near-term positives, but management also flags macro and tariff risk, shaping forward expectations.
Q2 results show strong profitability improvement, but cash flow from operations fell due to working-capital use, and earnings include a large tariff-recovery benefit.
