Likely market impact

Strong all-round performance with double-digit revenue growth, margin expansion, record order bookings, and a higher dividend signals healthy business momentum. Likely positive for shareholder sentiment and stock price, though results include a small one-time drag of about 0.6% on EBIT and 0.5% on PAT from new labour codes.
