Scenarios

Bull Case

20-30 year aftermarket engine contracts are deepest moat in industrial manufacturing. AI improves yield and throughput at existing capacity, boosting margins without capex.

Bear Case

F-35 procurement cuts (68 to 47 aircraft) reduce near-term engine orders. Supply chain normalization limits 'catch-up' revenue narrative.

Key Factors to Watch

  • 20-30 year aftermarket engine contracts — AI improves efficiency on top of this base
  • AI blade inspection in production: 50% time cut, improved accuracy
  • Defense F-35 headwind partially offset by hypersonics and next-gen content
