The angle

These aren't generic finance picks. They're companies whose earnings reports mean something to people who fabricate ductwork, install equipment, and source from distribution. WSO's volume numbers reflect what's actually moving on job sites. MLI's margins track copper. AAON's backlog tells you where commercial construction is headed. Long-term perspective, trade-informed context.
