Current thesis
Primary-source evidence supports a real operating inflection: Q1 sales rose 35%, adjusted EPS rose 73%, entered orders rose 143%, and backlog hit a record $1.4 billion, with broad-based strength across A&D, USG, and Test [#8-K-2026-02-05]. Low net debt at FY2025 year-end also leaves balance-sheet room if execution continues [#10-K-2025-12-01].
