The structural cost reduction through the closure in Turkey (approximately $40M annually) is expected to serve as a key driver for achieving the 2026 margin target (10.5%-11%). Additionally, the 'recovery' and 'market share maintenance' confirmed in the second-quarter results may act as catalysts reaffirming leadership in the global automotive safety sector. In particular, this reflects market expectations that demand for safety systems will continue during the transition to electric vehicles, which is positive for securing long-term growth momentum.
