Spracklin states that the updated guide implies a robust turnaround during the remainder of the year.
While updating his estimates to align with guidance, the analyst notes that guidance is back-half weighted and assumes an improvement in labor, supply chain, and contract issues — much of which carries a degree of uncertainty / low predictability.
