The significant revenue and operating margin growth across all segments, especially in high-margin sonar products, suggests improving operational leverage. While DAVD sales are delayed, the strong Echoscope demand and international expansion — particularly in Asia and Europe — position CODA well for future growth. Traders should monitor the upcoming DAVD Navy approvals and UUV market adoption as key catalysts.
