Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The combination of a proven MRI-capable leadership hire, a concrete capacity ramp to 10,000 MT, and DFARS compliance creates a tangible near-term revenue visibility and defense-contract upside, which historically drives equity re-rating when execution begins. Risks include ramp delays and regulatory/geopolitical factors.
