Revenue is anchored by recurring service, spares, and software, but end‑markets remain partly cyclical. Underlying orders have grown for four consecutive quarters and management guides fiscal 2026 sales up about 5.5 percent with underlying growth of roughly 4 percent.

The Americas at 51 percent of sales lowers geopolitical risk, but China at about 10 percent and certain process/discrete sectors add variability.

Software contract renewal timing can shift revenue between quarters, yet multiyear secular drivers (digitalization, electrification, grid modernization, LNG, life sciences, semiconductors) support mid‑cycle growth. Overall predictability is good for an industrial, though not at the level of pure toll‑booth models like card networks.
