Management maintained its overall guidance posture. Q3 guidance predicts flat-to-modest revenue declines in both divisions, with margin expansion of 25-175 basis points expected. The full-year capex target remains approximately $1.1B, with the outlook shifting from increasing in Q1 to stable in Q2. Share buybacks accelerated from $100M to $200M quarter-over-quarter, and management indicated continued repurchases.
