- Can you elaborate on the specific operational improvements you're implementing to achieve the anticipated margin expansion, and how much of that improvement is driven by cost efficiencies versus expected revenue growth?
- Given the exit of approximately $370 million in annual revenue through divestitures and product pruning, how do you plan to return Sensata to growth, and what specific strategies will you employ to offset this revenue loss?
- With the slowdown in EV adoption in North America and Europe and your strong incumbency in ICE platforms, how do you plan to balance growth between ICE and EV markets, and when can we expect meaningful contributions from your electrification offerings?
- Considering the 8% year-over-year decrease in Sensing Solutions revenue and ongoing weakness in industrial end markets, what are your plans to revitalize growth in this segment, and what is the expected timeline for a turnaround?
- Can you provide more details on the potential impact of recently announced tariffs on your business, especially given that 70% of your North American manufacturing is done in Mexico, and what contingency plans are in place to mitigate these risks?
