Analysis
CSG 82.4% revenue growth outpaces every major Western defense contractor. The Strnad group status as Central Europe most valuable company reflects a broader trend: mid-tier European defense firms are growing faster than primes as governments diversify supplier bases for ammunition, armored vehicles, and drone components needed for Ukraine.
