Cyclical Industry ExposureRevenue concentration in aerospace and transportation ties performance to aircraft build rates and government defense cycles. Even with long-term contracts, demand volatility and OEM program timing can create multi-quarter swings in backlog and cash flow, a structural risk in 2-6 month horizons.
Low Absolute ProfitabilityDespite margin recovery, EBIT and net margins remain modest. Low absolute profitability leaves limited buffer for cost inflation, contract overruns or price pressure, constraining ability to accumulate reserves or scale earnings rapidly without higher margin contracts.
History Of High LiabilitiesAlthough current leverage is manageable, historically high liabilities relative to assets indicate recurring balance-sheet risk. If orders slow or adverse conditions hit, liabilities could force tighter liquidity management, asset sales or external financing, reducing operational flexibility.
