The strong beat and raised margin profile confirm robust aerospace/defense demand and successful VACCO integration. Monitor Q2 guidance execution and any tariff/geopolitical headwinds; the stock may gap up on the beat but watch for profit-taking given the stock's recent neutral-to-negative T+20 history.
