A standout quarter for Madison Air saw revenue climb 21% to $991 million and net income more than double to $70.5 million. The real story, however, is the Commercial backlog, which surged 133% year-over-year to $2.8 billion on the back of data center cooling demand. The April IPO provided $2.6 billion in proceeds that were used to slash debt, cutting interest costs and strengthening the balance sheet. Yet material weaknesses in internal controls remain unresolved, and the stock trades near its 52-week low despite the operational momentum — a disconnect that keeps governance concerns front and center.
