Current thesis
The best supported bull view is still operational: 2025 sales rose 13%, backlog ended 2025 up 22%, and management pointed to continuing strength in energy and communications plus later-2026 facility benefits [#8-K-2026-03-04][#10-K-2026-03-05]. If Q1 confirms backlog conversion and pricing offsets tariff pressure, the current premium multiple can remain supported.

What changed
Next scheduled catalyst: earnings 2026-07-28.
What can break
Backlog is supportive only if it converts cleanly; the 10-K says substantially all year-end backlog is expected to ship in 2026, so any slippage would matter quickly [#10-K-2026-03-05].
