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 — Q1 2022 call → NOThe question is about whether management explains the company's current momentum and near-term trajectory by pointing to a wave of new building or capacity-creation by other parties, and that this is ...YES The transcript shows management framing CTV momentum chiefly through the wave of new AVOD capacity creation by streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, etc.). They describe these parties “launching or announced AVOD offerings,” “actively exploring it,” and “helping them sell ads” while the company supplies the 3rd-party ad server and demand. Management explicitly calls the timeline “multi-quarter journey,” “walk before you run,” and notes that “the vast majority will be Q3 and Q4,” confirming the build-out is early and the captured business is only the front edge.

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.
