A ~$0.15 EPS beat versus $6.25 consensus and Power & Energy strength should support an initial positive reaction, but the implied FY2026 free-cash-flow outlook of ~$10.00B versus $10.80B consensus and only modest full-year margin uplift leave limited out-period EPS-revision support after the first-day move. |
