AI Summary
CRS is increasingly looking like a specialty materials compounder rather than a cyclical metals supplier, with record margins, stronger FCF, and aerospace/defense LTAs improving earnings visibility, but the stock now hinges on execution of the elevated capex and build-rate ramp as medical weakness and shipment timing remain the main risks.
