(ESP) and wondering how their deep focus on niche, rugged power electronics translates into a real moat. Honestly, the numbers from fiscal year 2025 and the recent Q2 performance suggest this specialization is their core strength, not just a footnote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis capability - designing and manufacturing power supplies and transformers for military and severe environments - is what lets them command premium pricing.
