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
