What changed
Compared with the prior-quarter analysis, guidance sentiment improved from lowered to maintained. The current analysis highlights a record $19 billion backlog, progress toward more than 30% multi-sourced material spend, the first quarterly dividend, higher free-cash-flow guidance, and a $500 million Arizona facility; supply constraints and mix risks remain.
Guidance delta
FY2026 guidance was maintained; the supplied analysis says free-cash-flow guidance was raised to $1.2-$1.4 billion for the second half.
Key takeaways
- The backlog reached a record $19 billion, with double-digit growth in Defense & Space and commercial aftermarket orders.
- Management said multi-sourcing should exceed 30% of material spend by year-end and highlighted additional in-sourcing.
- The first quarterly cash dividend, new product wins, and a planned Arizona facility add to the company’s longer-term growth program.
Management priorities
- Increase multi-sourcing and in-source more mechanical-component spending to improve supply resilience.
- Ramp the Arizona control-systems campus and develop the planned Arizona manufacturing facility.
- Advance Kestrel, SURF-A, SkyShot 1600, and other product platforms through deliveries and certification.
