What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1Sales depend on aircraft production, airline activity and demand for aircraft maintenance and replacement parts.
2Defense-related sales depend in part on government spending, contract awards and the continuation of government contracts.
3Manufacturing uses steel, copper, cast iron, electronic components, aluminum and other materials purchased from suppliers around the world.

What could go wrong

1Demand can change with economic conditions, customer investment and activity in markets such as commercial aviation, defense, chemicals and construction.
2The company may not integrate acquired businesses successfully; the January 2026 acquisitions added new brands and products to both business segments.
3Supplier interruptions, material shortages, price swings and tariffs can raise costs or delay the materials and components needed to make products.
