Valuation concerns amid price volatility
• Rotated out as other opportunities showed stronger combined valuation and momentum metrics
• Trading at a high P/E ratio of ~41 with negative return on assets (-0.64%), suggesting limited upside compared to peers
• Recent market performance shows cooling momentum with negative 1-week (-1.53%) and 1-month (-2.73%) returns, despite stronger 6-month gains
• Goldman Sachs recently downgraded to Neutral, noting shares now trade at ~10% premium to comparable companies
• Several positive factors remain: solid revenue growth (+9.66% quarterly), strong dividend growth (28%), and ongoing explosives transformation strategy
• This change reflects portfolio rotation, not a sell signal.
