The guidance raise on Attachments preseason strength signals confidence in record annual results. Monitor Q3 preseason shipment split (expected near 50/50 vs 60/40 last year) and winter snowfall patterns, which drive the Attachments segment's second-half performance. The slight revenue miss vs consensus may create a buying opportunity if the guidance raise is validated.
