Why now
Aerospace & Defense · market cap $16.2b. Down 27% from 52-week high of $241.82 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +21%, comfortably above the S&P median. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $238.16 (implying +35% upside).
Moat
ROE 27% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 95% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Trailing P/E 47x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $238.16 (14-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $348.69 at ~15% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $517.26 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.
