Risks
Demand depends on global industrial, construction and infrastructure activity, so cyclical weakness can reduce orders. The business also faces customer concentration, supply-chain dependence, cybersecurity exposure and tariff or input-cost pressure because many products are sold through distributors and installed in complex projects.
