The reaffirmed guidance and 2.2% organic growth suggest stability, but the widening GAAP loss and elevated integration costs ($14.1M) warrant caution. Watch the May 19 Investor Day for long-term targets and margin trajectory — a meaningful catalyst if targets exceed current guidance. The $200M buyback authorized in March provides a floor but is not a growth signal.
