Bingo. Executive order just signed to go into effect soon...domestic suppliers WIN. $MOB being FCC exempt, Blue UAS, and supplier to domestic OEMs like $TDY means they also win. And great quarter too...business is starting to inflect. https://t.co/Wj5fOsJxvh

@ShmuelLon Good. That was my intention. It was less about the merits of $EVC in the future and more about recognizing that 1) we have to think about growth properly; and 2)we have to guard against thesis drift.

Many. High level, the $AIRS quarter wasn't as good as hoped, but certainly not something that warranted the kind of response it received. Top of the funnel interest in lipo slowed in June/July. I have my own thesis on the potential impact of the world cup, given the shift in consumer interest in that procedure towards the latina community over the past 15-years. Only time will tell if that's right. Either way, the business is stable and now oriented for growth. Adding new procedures (eye bleph and alloclae) significantly expands $AIRS ability to serve the GLP-1 crowd. My expectation is we'll see the bank deal completed before they report 3Q26 and that could coincide with the announcement of site expansion in early 2027. The growth opportunity here remains monumental. $AIRS has massive inherent operating leverage to improved site level utilization. There was some fast money and retail involved here (clearly!), but this is about the company improving the marketing funnel in absolute lead generation and conversion, driving site level utilization, and expanding on a de novo basis. That's the recipe and obsessing about whether growth should have been 2-4% higher for 2Q26 in that context is irrelevant. This is a business that can be 3-5x the size and still have a runway for growth.
