Cyborg Score Rationale
With trailing 12-month revenue of $6.19B and market capitalization of $10.9B (as of September 2025), the company demonstrates substantial scale in defense and commercial aerospace.

Strong domestic demand from Chinese military and commercial aircraft programs provides structural support.
