Bottom line
The market will focus on the 23% sales surge, but the real story is the quietly expanding industrial‑tech/AI data‑center niche that could become a higher‑margin engine once quantified - see the industrial‑tech comment. The binding constraint remains the parts supply chain, which management admits is still a "major headache" and could throttle margin expansion. My view shifts if the backlog is less than $2 B or supply‑chain delays extend beyond Q4.

The 30-second version

  • Sleeper story: industrial‑tech & AI data‑center components are quietly powering growth
  • Headline growth is real but constrained by supply‑chain lead‑times
  • Red flag: disappearance of detailed cash‑margin metrics and vague supply‑chain language
