In addition, the increase in the replenishment of missile and munition programs has now driven over $1 billion of backlog in our Defense & Space end market. This positions us well to deliver organic revenue growth above our through-cycle target as we continue to execute our profitable growth strategy and support our customers at the forefront of data center infrastructure, physical AI, critical defense programs, and power grid resilience.” Ralliant shares rose 2.7% to trade at $60.74 on Wednesday.
