## MoonshotScore

MoonshotScore is Stock Expert AI's proprietary 0-100 research rating, not a buy or sell recommendation. AADX scores 29/100 (Weak band): the number comes from the five-pillar engine (business quality, financial safety, valuation, growth durability, momentum), re-ranked daily against sector peers.

**MoonshotScore v2:** 29 of 100 — **Weak** band, computed Oct 5, 2026.

Durable growth, but bottom-tier quality, a strained balance sheet and an expensive valuation, and the price trend has turned against it. Business Quality: Poor; Financial Safety: Strained; Valuation: Bubble; Growth Durability: Growing; Momentum: Slipping.

_Bands: Score bands are Exceptional (80-100), Strong (65-79), Fair (45-64) and Weak (below 45)._

| Pillar | State | Score | What it asks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Quality | Poor | 10 | Is this a genuinely good business? |
| Financial Safety | Strained | 26 | Could this blow up on me? |
| Valuation | Bubble | 14 | Am I paying a fair price? |
| Growth Durability | Growing | 72 | Is the growth real and likely to last? |
| Momentum | Slipping | 20 | Is the market already moving on this? |

**Holding back:** weak fundamentals, balance-sheet strain, a rich price, weak price trend

**Helping:** durable growth

_Numbers: Financial Modeling Prep fundamentals · Score: our own read · Oct 5, 2026._

Calculation uses the most recent completed US trading session. Live price changes do not update the score immediately.

### What has the MoonshotScore done over time?

| Recorded | Score | Band |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 25, 2026 | 29 | Weak |
| Sep 29, 2026 | 29 | Weak |
| Sep 30, 2026 | 29 | Weak |
| Oct 1, 2026 | 29 | Weak |
| Oct 2, 2026 | 29 | Weak |
| Oct 5, 2026 | 29 | Weak |

_The score was 29 in the stored Oct 4, 2026 snapshot and remains 29 in the current publication computed Oct 5, 2026 (0); the largest pillar moves were Growth Durability -1; the pillar moves offset under the sector-relative weighting, so the headline score is unchanged._

## Frequently Asked Questions

_These answers are editorial: they are written from question templates that restate figures shown above. They are not part of the source register._

### What does the MoonshotScore mean for AADX?

### Is AADX a good stock to buy?

Stock Expert AI does not rate AADX buy, sell or hold. Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc. carries a MoonshotScore, in the Weak band, a research rating against its peers rather than a forecast. Whether it fits is your call: check what it sells, whether it earns and what the price assumes. This is educational content, not investment advice.

The last price recorded on this page for Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc. (AADX) is $11.51, as of the Oct 5, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) · quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.

### How frequently does AADX data refresh on this page?

AADX's price is the last quote we recorded, from the Oct 5, 2026 trading session. Pages are served from a cache, so the copy you are reading can lag that quote. The quote is a provider snapshot, not an exchange feed. Fundamentals follow quarterly filings. V2 is recalculated from the most recent completed US trading session; the score's own date shows its last successful run.

### What has driven AADX's recent stock price performance?

Applied Aerospace & Defense, Inc. (AADX) moves on earnings results, analyst revisions, sector rotation, and market sentiment. See the News tab for the latest drivers. Past performance does not predict future results.

### Can I buy fractional shares of AADX?

## Source register

The 19 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this document printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover the snapshot in the header, quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.

"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute. The **Fact ID** column is the key each figure above cites, so a quotation can be traced back to one dated row.
