CEO Saum Sutaria highlighted strong operational execution and innovation as key drivers behind performance amid industry challenges. The company also raised its full-year guidance for 2026, projecting higher revenue between $21.9 billion to $22.5 billion compared to previous forecasts of $21.5 billion to $22.3 billion.
