Selling into a wave of new capacity being built by others: management describes its customers' own build-out spending as
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management explains current momentum and near-term trajectory chiefly by pointing to a wave of new building/equipping/capacity-creation by other parties, for which the company already supplies part, and that this build-out is early/intensifying. The transcript is about Full House Resorts, a casino company. They are building their own casinos (Waukegan, Chamonix). They talk about their own construction. They also mention competitors: Rivers Casino expansion, Potawatomi, Grand Vic, etc. But they are not supplying anything to those competitors. They are a casino operator, not a supplier. The question asks about "other parties" building capacity that the company supplies part of. That doesn't fit. The company is building its own capacity. They mention other casinos' success but not that they supply them. They mention online sports betting competitors, but again not supplying. Thus, the answer is NO. The company's momentum is driven by its own new casino openings, not by others' build-out that they supply. So answer NO.

They describe others (OEMs, installers 3rd parties) building new productive capability—new EV platforms, renewable sites, AI clusters—while TE already supplies into it via content outperformance and early ramps. Current business is real (sequential order growth, $1.3B pipeline, $100M+ incremental AI revenue). The wave is early/intensifying 2024–2025 (3–4 year programs, more phases ahead, destocking normalizing). This is presented as the primary secular driver offsetting cyclical weakness, not just consumption or pricing. Other elements (destocking, FX) are secondary. Thus all three conditions are met in substance.

This describes OEMs creating new productive capacity through rate ramps and build growth for next generation engines. Management confirms current business from this wave with "next-generation product sales reached 48% of total jet engine product sales" and "65% increase in next-generation product sales," plus "seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year margin expansion.

All three conditions are met in Eyal Harari’s prepared remarks and Q&A.
