Why this rating
Raised FY guidance across sales, margin, EPS, FCF—all tracking above prior expectations. Record backlog and strong order growth signal durable momentum. Margin expansion 50–70 bps YoY. Against $16.4B market cap, this ~8–9% annual sales growth and mid-teens EPS growth are material but not transformational; execution on secular A&D/commercial nuclear trends is strong, but no major M&A or strategic shift announced. Meaningful positive surprise, justified confidence.
