How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q1
Just curious if that's already in hand for 2Q, or something that's still being recouped? And then any color on margin impact that would have had in the quarter
Show response
Adam confirmed vast majority of $10M recovered, some services revenue takes longer. Margin impact was very modest, delivered margins are reasonable proxy for actual performance. Direct.
Can you just give a little bit more color on the cadence from here in the bridge to that improvement after being down a little bit in 1Q?
Show response
Adam detailed Q2 50bps YoY improvement from pricing, volume, Ignite offset by variable pay and tariffs. Acceleration in H2 as tariffs fully mitigated. Clear cadence walkthrough.

Calendar 2025 Q3
Did China's anti-involution campaign have an impact on the business over there
Show response
Patrick explained anti-involution policy focused on solar, steel overcapacity which are not significant MTD markets. Exited heavy industrial infrastructure over a decade ago. Industrial portfolio focused on automation and digitalization where demand for productivity solutions persists.
Curious how conversations there, particularly among pharma customers have evolved in the past 45 days or so with commentary getting better around MFN
Show response
Patrick reiterated very early innings for onshoring. Still takes multiple years to build manufacturing sites and labs. MTD priority is being with customers in planning phase to implement latest automation and digitalization solutions.
