The stock opened 4.5% higher on the results, though it settled to a more modest gain as the day progressed. The real story here isn't just that the company cleared expectations. It's the consistency of execution and the scale of the backlog driving confidence into 2026.

Jim Cramer has been on TV for two decades, and to his fans, he's their high-energy coach who turns financial jargon into valuable information.
