The Q1 beat and strong FY2026 EPS guidance ($1.50-$1.70 vs $0.55 in 2025) signal a transformative inflection post-Aerospace divestiture. The $913M net cash position provides significant optionality for M&A, buybacks, or organic investment. Watch for capital deployment announcements and Q2 margin progression to validate the 300bps+ margin improvement target.
