Aspen Aerogels operating DCF valuation

Five-year operating DCF updated for Q2 2026. The 2026 revenue base remains $235M after Q2 revenue exceeded prior expectations and Q3 guidance moved to $65M-$80M with positive adjusted EBITDA. Q2 10-Q and transcript evidence support the same recovery path, with European thermal-barrier momentum and customer concentration still important execution risks.
