Our View: strong print against elevated expectations, demonstrating the financial

potential of the group when executing. We think the market rewards the beat.

7.6% for cons) and better FCF at -€1.2bn (vs -€1.5bn for cons). On adj. EBIT,

performance was led by a marked improvement in Defence & Space (+46% vs cons)

as well as higher volumes, mix and operating leverage in Commercial (+5% vs cons).
