Context and risks
Exposure to the aerospace and defense supply chain, sensitive to geopolitical tensions and potential trade restrictions on specialty metals. The rising US interest rate environment (10-year at 5.17%) affects its long-duration valuation, although its low leverage (ND/EBITDA 0.40) limits the impact on financial health.

Verdict: Hold; business quality is high, but valuation and a potential cyclical peak limit near-term upside.
Main risk: The main risk is the sustainability of earnings growth (46.4%) in a cyclical sector, which could reverse if aerospace and defense demand cools or if exceptional margins (24.08%) normalize.
