While Knowles's stock has been a laggard for the past decade, structural changes in the business imply a potentially different future. Present business conditions include various temporary headwinds that, I think, will abate in the coming year(s) including destocking and idiosyncratic macro headwinds. Over time, this is a competitive company with structural end-market tailwinds - e.g., growing hearing aid demand, defense growth - that should translate into higher sales and EBITDA.
