8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▲ Bullish

The strong beat and raised guidance confirm accelerating momentum in AI, energy, and transportation end markets. The Astrodyne TDI acquisition expands the Industrial segment's power portfolio at a reasonable multiple (~5.6x sales). Watch for closing of the deal by year-end and any updates on integration. The stock should re-rate higher given consistent outperformance vs the business model outlined at Investor Day.
