A local-growth option inside a low-margin global group
The Tukan reveal did not create a lasting share-price premium. Monday's 2.0% fall erased most of last week's 2.5% gain. Investors still need pricing, factory capacity and unit-margin evidence.

Key catalyst: confirmed pricing and capacity. Key downside: discount-led market share.
