Q4 constant-currency sales growth is expected to slow from the first three quarters as some customers face year-end budget constraints; a high order backlog supports Q4.
Sales growth is expected to remain robust through 2027, supported by market growth and share gains; operating scale and efficiency are expected to improve margins over time.
Q4 operating cash flow is expected to benefit from further inventory reductions and seasonal working-capital improvement.
