New Narrative • Jun 24

New MTP outlines a period of transformation

FY3/26 results update Forging ahead towards the next phase – FY3/26 results were resilient and ahead of the Company’s guidance revised in February 2026. Although macro uncertainty driven by Middle East tensions contributed to a conservative FY3/27 guidance, we think investors should look past the temporary headwind and focus on the Company’s new FY3/27–FY3/31 medium-term plan.
