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 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management explains current momentum and near-term trajectory chiefly by pointing to a wave of new building, equipping, or capacity-creation being undertaken by other parties, for which the company already supplies part, and that this build-out is early or intensifying. Let's analyze the transcript. The company is Green Brick Partners, a homebuilder. They talk about their own performance, land acquisition, etc. They mention demand from demographics, low existing home inventory, etc. They talk about their own starts, cycle times, etc. They mention "we continue to prioritize our search for prime land opportunities" and "we have begun to observe more pockets of opportunity" due to capital constraints for small builders. But that's about land acquisition, not about other parties building capacity that they supply to. The question is about a wave of building by others that the company supplies. Here, the company is a homebuilder itself. They are not supplying to other builders; they are building homes. They talk about their own building. They mention "we ramped up starts" etc. That's their own capacity. They also mention "According to John Burns, new homes are 30% of total home sales in Dallas" etc. That's market share. They talk about "existing home inventory has dropped" and "existing homeowners continue to stay put" - that's about supply of existing homes, not about others building. They mention "we have begun to observe more pockets of opportunity" in land deals because small builders and developers are capital constrained. That is about other builders not building, but that's not a wave of building by others that they supply. The question specifically: "does management explain the company's current momentum and near-term trajectory chiefly by pointing to A WAVE OF NEW BUILDING, EQUIPPING, OR CAPACITY-CREATION BEING UNDERTAKEN BY OTHER PARTIES — its customers, its customers' customers, or institutions in its end markets — for which the company already supplies part of what those parties must buy" Here, the company is a homebuilder. Its customers are homebuyers. The homebuyers are not building anything; they are buying homes. The company builds homes. There is no mention of other parties building capacity that the company supplies to. The company itself is the builder. So it's not a case of selling picks to a construction boom.

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.
