$XGN bio pharma revenue increased 40% yy in Q2 hitting a quarterly record. What we also love is that the stock trades for 2.5x sales vs a comp set at 10.3x. This is in advance of launching testing for Myositis which is another connective-tissue disorder that requires early diagnosis to treat and prevent serious organ damage. Rheumatologists have requested a calibrated Myositis test w/ 15x more frequency than any other test because the condition is so critical to rule out. Only $XGN will offer this and its coming in the 1H of 2027, maybe Q1 and the additional cost of launch are already baked into the cake.

$ESP - >$70B of funding for the submarines they are sole source suppliers of certain power components (e.g. transformers) to. Minor InfoArb: Trump's recent exec order (see photo). This does three nice things: 1. Establishes a component repair centair for critical components (what Espey makes) for submarines. This will increase depot stocking orders and can push demand to Espey ahead of actual submarines builds. 2. Freezing designs w/out approval from DoW is bullish incumbents 3. Given that the memo is identifying the need for robust supplier bases, I'd expect the possibility of more Naval grants/investments
