MLR remains in a Stage 2 advancing phase with clear higher highs and higher lows driving a bullish medium-term structure. Short-term pullbacks into the rising EMA zone are being absorbed, presenting controlled entry opportunities. Despite this constructive behavior, the long-term downtrend and 200 DMA overhead resistance warrant caution and guide entries toward key support levels.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • We entered the year with strong momentum. The actions we took in 2025 to reduce field inventory, improve the health of our distribution channel, and strengthen our supply chain positioned us to capture rising demand across the business.
  • Despite the reduction in retail activity that we saw throughout 2025 and the recent effects of the conflict in the Middle East, we remain confident in the strength of our business and the structural demand opportunities ahead.
  • We remain confident that the acquisition will be accretive in the first year after recognizing these non-cash acquisition-related expenses.

Bear points

  • At the same time, cost of manufacturing in the United States have continued to increase. While we implemented an initial surcharge in April 2025 to offset tariff-related costs, continued cost increases have exceeded the coverage that our surcharge provided.
  • As a result, we have implemented an additional 3% price increase on all manufactured products to better align pricing with our current cost environment and support our continued investment in U.S. manufacturing.
  • While demand remains consistent, higher diesel prices and heightened uncertainty stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are leading customers to push orders.
