The earnings call presents a mixed outlook. Financial performance shows modest revenue growth and improved gross margins, but higher operating expenses and net losses raise concerns. The absence of a shareholder return plan and competitive pressures from Raytheon further temper optimism. While the Q&A highlights potential growth areas, management's vague responses on key programs add uncertainty. These factors suggest a neutral stock price movement in the short term.
