How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q1
can you talk about what it brings you in terms of ability to sell Transit deals and how we should think about any margin impact on Transit over time?
Show response
Rafael highlighted Dellner enabling share-of-wallet gains with new customers through technology and reliability. Cost synergies on track plus growth synergies not originally planned. John confirmed Dellner margins above company average, positive for Transit margins.
Is that because you've shifted to more local for local in terms of how you're supplying final production?
Show response
John confirmed neutrality from both mix factors and mitigation work. Gross tariffs remain burdensome but net impact managed through operations. Tariff regime change doesn't dramatically alter the overall financial picture.
Calendar 2025 Q3
Did that deal for the new locomotives include the full suite of digital products upfront?

does the technology side of those deals integrate to your existing software and service stack easily
Show response
Rafael confirmed strong technology integration potential, with scale advantages enabling growth and share-of-wallet gains across markets. Growth synergies expected beyond cost synergies.

Calendar 2026 Q2
are most of your conversations at a high level talking about taking that full suite of integrated products?
Show response
Revathi reframed the answer around leading the design conversation while still competing to win each individual category.
It does look like other EMS companies are also expanding capabilities in a similar way.
Show response
Revathi pushed back on the premise, drawing a line between contract manufacturing and owning power IP plus 400-volt and 800-volt design capability.
Calendar 2026 Q1
how much of the CPI growth forecast is just this incredible demand environment versus your own success
Show response
Revathi said current growth is mostly individual products, migrating toward full-architecture engagements over time.
Calendar 2025 Q2
what percentage of customers engage with the entire suite of IT integration and power products?
Show response
