Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong fiscal 2026 results, sizable backlog, and explicit 2028 targets imply higher cash generation, potential margin expansion, and favorable capital allocation (buybacks, targeted M&A). These factors historically support multiple expansion in manufacturing display-related equities as backlog converts to revenue.
