Bull points
- For the full year, we're still expecting good margin expansion for mobility tech year on year. We expect margins for mobility tech to be up close to 100 basis points or about 100 basis points for the full year. And you'll start seeing that read through starting with Q2.
- We feel really good about the momentum we have in our InVinco pipeline; there’s more conversation and more pilots ongoing, which is promising for future growth.
- We had a strong start to the year with first quarter sales, adjusted EPS, and adjusted free cash flow exceeding expectations.
Bear points
- we are very cautious on what we're sort of seeing here in a demand picture.
- given the current macro, we don't believe Matco or Repair Solutions will be flat this year. I would expect that to be down mid-single digit plus.
- While the second half suggests some uncertainty, we're positioned well with the strongest players in the market.
