A largely preannounced Q2 limits the initial surprise, but a 2026Q3 EPS outlook of ~$5.15 versus $5.06 consensus would support modest upward revisions. Better lagged-contract pricing and stable scrap costs should more than offset the nonrecurrence of the roughly $130M procurement refund, allowing positive residual returns to extend beyond day 1. |
