Diluted EPS was $3.56 (+$3.03 YoY, or +70% adjusted for prior-year pension termination charges). Nine-month 2026 sales reached $598.5M (+21% YoY) with diluted EPS of $10.18 (+88% YoY, or +46% adjusted).

Why this rating
Strong organic growth (+18% sales, +370bps margin) and 70% EPS expansion are material for a $403M company. May acquisition adds to growth trajectory. Headwinds (tariffs, personnel costs) offset gains but don't reverse momentum. Execution remains strong; not transformational but solidly significant.
