Sands Capital Select Growth Fund Wesley A. Johnston, Thomas H. Trentman, Benjamin H. Betcher | “Carpenter Technology is a leading supplier of specialty nickel alloys for the aerospace industry. Fiscal third-quarter results reinforced our margin thesis as the company demonstrated significant operating leverage as the aerospace equipment cycle continued to recover. Specialty Alloys Operations generated an 86 percent incremental margin in a quarter when volume grew at its strongest rate since the post-COVID aerospace recovery. In our view, the results helped validate that Carpenter's earnings power can continue to expand as the business benefits from improving volume, pricing, and mix. We maintain conviction, supported by Carpenter Technology's specialized materials leadership, pricing power, and exposure to a multiyear aerospace production recovery.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 31, 2026 | View Pitch |

Carillon Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund Eric Mintz, Christopher Sassouni, David Cavanaugh | “Carpenter Technology produces specialty metals and alloys for a diversified set of industries, notably aerospace and defense. The stock performed well after a strong quarterly report that was led by growth in its aerospace engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) end market, which continues to show durable momentum. Looking ahead, the company's exposure to airframe original equipment manufacturer (OEM) production is poised to accelerate as two global jet manufacturers are set to ramp up build rates in 2026 after years of stagnation. BSD Analysis: Carpenter's moat is metallurgical expertise in high-performance alloys used where failure is not an option. Aerospace and defense exposure creates long qualification cycles and customer stickiness. Pricing power exists, but only when capacity is tight and demand cooperates. Capital intensity makes execution discipline critical—mistakes linger in margins and balance sheets. Aerospace recovery has improved sentiment, but order timing remains uneven. Defense adds stability, yet growth is incremental, not explosive. The bull case is sustained aerospace build rates and mix improvement. The bear case is cycle rollover exposing operating leverage. Carpenter is a specialty industrial that behaves like a cyclical—because it is one.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
