The earnings call reveals mixed signals: while there is growth in aftermarket revenue and some contract awards, there are concerns over margins and cash flow. The Q&A highlights potential growth areas but also notes challenges in margins and capital requirements. The absence of a market cap makes precise prediction difficult, but the overall sentiment is balanced by both positive developments and financial pressures, resulting in a neutral outlook.
