Progress in an Iran peace deal also alleviated geopolitical risks, encouraging corporations to resume paused projects. Knowles, noted for low volatility, climbed to a 52-week high at $36.67, up 67% year-to-date, despite recent concerns over cash flow reversals. The broader market optimism and renewed corporate confidence signal potential further gains in business services stocks.
