Key Commentary: Management highlighted strong demand across key end markets, particularly in power generation and data centers. However, unprecedented increases in commodity costs (steel, pig iron, aluminum, copper), freight costs, and supply chain issues were cited as significant headwinds impacting margins. A price increase was taken at the start of Q2 to help mitigate these costs, with realization expected to lag by a quarter.
