Cognex's emerging customer initiative and Moritex acquisition are driving growth, but the core business continues to struggle, with automotive an area of particular weakness. While end markets like logistics and semis are bright spots, I expect macro headwinds to persist, delaying a return to strong growth. Pricing pressure and investments in future growth are also likely to weigh on margins in the short term, but this isn't concerning given Cognex's track record of profitable growth.
