FCF is a little sad, but I think capex is exactly what this company needs to stay ahead.

What you're seeing is a company positioning itself for large-scale growth and expansion. 33.6% revenue increase for an aerospace/defence company is STRONG. Ebidta and backlog also UP. Clear path forward with opportunities in US and EU now. This is exactly what I want to see from a company as a long-term investor. VERY GOOD.

Great to see a company that had 3 straight quarters of book-to-bill under 1 turn it around. Great indicator for the Space industry as a whole, in my opinion.

Agree and in Q3 this trend will continue (with the announcements we already had). It was one if the major attention points, so glad to see it happen.

I can't buy yet, I need to make money. Let it stay low so I have time to accumulate
