Key takeaway
TRT's guidance evolved from "we'll survive" in early 2023 to "we're choosing which orders to accept" in 2026. The inflection point was the successful US market entry via Siemens OEM, combined with global transformer supply shortage driven by Data Center/AI/EV demand. The CEO never used language like "new era" or discussed capacity constraints before YE/2025 — those were entirely new themes signaling a structural change in the company's positioning.
