Why This Question Matters

Defense is ATI's diversification pillar (~14% of revenue). Four consecutive years of double-digit growth has contributed meaningfully to the transformation narrative. Deceleration to single digits would reduce overall revenue growth and test whether ATI's A&D concentration risk extends beyond commercial aerospace into defense as well.

ATI defense double digits for 4 years with missiles up 127%. Hard to sustain but geopolitical environment supportive. Sole-source positions. Base case is low-double-digits, not single digits.

Missile restocking is one-time surge that normalizes. DOGE reviews add uncertainty. High base creates deceleration math.

Defense appropriations elevated with bipartisan support. Strategic national security materials politically protected. Single-digit requires active budget cuts.

127% missile growth clearly unsustainable. Even if missiles normalize to 20-30%, other defense may keep blended growth low double digits.

DOGE risk weighted more. Aggressive spending reviews. Continuing resolution freezes spending. If CR persists, growth mechanically slows.

Global defense momentum strong. NATO increasing. Sole-source means captive revenue. Single-digit requires spending flatten AND share loss.

Resolution Criteria

Resolves YES if ATI's FY2026 defense revenue (as disclosed in earnings or 10-K) grows less than 10% YoY compared to FY2025 defense revenue.

Resolution Source

ATI FY2026 10-K filing or Q4 2026 earnings disclosure with defense segment data

Source Trigger

Defense spending trajectory — 4th consecutive year of double-digit growth in defense. Deceleration to single digits would affect ~14% of revenue.
