- Sales amounted to nearly $1.44 billion, up 2.9% year-over-year. Earnings per share (GAAP) increased by nearly 32% year-over-year to $5.54 from $4.15 in 2023; Wall Street had expected $4.97.
- The operating margin remained stable at 18.8%. Free cash flow amounted to $228.7 million.
- The company raised its full-year expectations for earnings per share (GAAP) to a range of $17.28 - $17.42. The company reported that orders in Q3 exceeded sales for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Although full-year earnings forecasts came in at the higher end of Wall Street expectations, investors are buying the stock today, viewing the company as a potential beneficiary in the defense and space sectors, where higher investment spending is expected in the coming years. Additionally, the prospect of a large order backlog reassures investors that the company has the potential to return to its record valuations from 2022.
