OVERALL SCORE: 6.2/10

Context and risks

ITW is a diversified US-based industrial. The rise in interest rates and geopolitical tension do not materially affect its core business, which has no significant exposure to commodities, critical shipping routes, or long-term financing. Its moderate debt profile (ND/EBITDA 1.84) and sector diversification insulate it from the main identified macro risks.
