Why consensus could be wrong

Supporting evidence
Recent defense contracts suggest a stronger demand for aerospace products.
Options pricing indicates a higher expected move than historical averages, signaling potential for a surprise.
The company's recent operational improvements may not be fully reflected in consensus estimates.
Key risk
If revenue growth significantly exceeds expectations, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The market is debating whether Astronics can sustain its growth trajectory amid increasing competition and market demand.
Bull confirmed if
An EPS of $0.65 or higher would confirm the bullish outlook.
Bear confirmed if
