The Q1 beat and 388% medical segment growth confirm a powerful product mix shift toward higher-margin medical systems. However, the maintained FY flat-to-modest guidance suggests H2 uncertainty from clean energy headwinds and lumpy large-system orders. Monitor Q2 for whether the medical momentum sustains and clean energy stabilizes.
