In context

ject delays in the longer cycle business? And trying to understand on margins, I think there was a comment on similar margin in Q4. So does that mean it's a 19%-ish margin?

So super happy with how the Aero team performed in the third quarter, and I think you will see more good news from Aero team as we go to fourth quarter and next year. I would say, from a margin standpoint, 2Q '25 was probably the bottom, and you should continue to see sequential impro
