Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The note highlights a multi-hundred-billion defense backlog, a clear earnings/valuation catalyst, and a potential re-rating vs. peers after mega-contract wins. If the execution timeline aligns with Epstein's view, BA could see multiple expansion and earnings uplift relative to LMT/NOC peers, similar to historic post-deal rallies.
