The more thanâŻ100âŻ% YoY jump in net revenue signals that ISSC is moving from a lowâscale, highâgrowth phase toward a more âscaleâupâ trajectory. In practice, such a breakout tends to expand valuation multiplesâespecially priceâtoâsales (P/S) and priceâtoâearnings (P/E)âbecause investors price in the momentum of a nascent market leader rather than just current earnings. With gross profit climbing to $8.6âŻmillion (gross margin still healthy), the companyâs forwardâlooking earnings guidance is likely to be lifted, which should compress the forward P/E from a deepâvalue level (often <5Ă for earlyâstage aerospace suppliers) toward the 10â15Ă range typical for niche defenseâaviation players. Likewise, the P/S will likely rise from the current subâ2Ă level to somewhere between 3Ăâ4Ă, reflecting the premium placed on rapid topâline expansion in a market with limited competitive substitutes.
From a technical standpoint, the stock has already broken out of its prior consolidation range, trading above its 50âday moving average and holding a bullish position relative to the 200âday MA. That price momentum, combined with the earnings surprise, tends to reinforce multiple expansion until a more modest growth path is confirmed. Traders should therefore consider positioning for shortâtoâmediumâterm upside on the expectation of higher multiplesâe.g., buying on dips near support around the 20âday MA or using a tightâstop call credit spread to capitalize on continued price appreciation. Conversely, any earnings miss or slowdown in subsequent quarters could trigger a rapid multiple compression, so a protective stopâloss at roughly 5â7âŻ% below the entry point would be prudent.
