We fine tune 2026E EPS and raise 2027/28E EPS by 11%/10% to factor in our more

previously, justified by 26% long-term earnings CAGR forecast. Key catalyst could be its

upcoming earnings conference in late July, as we anticipate another solid set of earnings

and guidance, and a potential capex upgrade.
