Matthews International faces a 10% EBITDA guidance cut to $158–$162 million for fiscal 2026, reflecting restructuring costs and delayed synergies in Propelis, with no help from industrial tech's revenues.

Willis's Q2 results have shown us a demand softening, which caused maintenance reserves to decline and the utilization rate to drop from 87% to 85% YoY. The management fees segment grew significantly by 113%, but given that the firm still accrues most of its revenue from the leasing business, we still need to value against PB.

Technical analysis supports a bullish outlook, with a price target of $80—over 10% upside from current levels—despite a recent pullback below $71.
