The counterweight is execution and cost exposure from aluminum supply, commodities, trade policy and large launches.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
