Actionable Insight

The second consecutive guidance raise, record backlog, and expanding margins signal strong operational momentum. However, negative free cash flow in Q2 due to Middle East payment delays warrants monitoring. The stock should react positively to the beat and raised guidance, but watch for any commentary on cash flow recovery on the conference call.
