The AI's read

Elbit beat Q2 estimates and backlog jumped to $32.0 billion, driven by Europe and war-related demand. That gives multi-quarter revenue visibility and stronger cash flow prospects. But the stock is extended after a 90.5% 12-month rise and RSI ~80. Premarket it fell about 7.4%, which suggests the market is pricing execution, supply-chain, and tax risks into the price. We lean neutral. Solid backlog matters, but stretched valuation and the sharp premarket selloff remove clear asymmetric upside.
