First-pass take

ECI is a diversified electrical components supplier with strong margins (15.1%, +300bps YoY) and pricing power, but zero AI exposure. Post-acquisition leverage is high (~5.5x estimated debt/EBITDA), offsetting defensive end-market characteristics. Valuation reasonable (~9x EBITDA) but not compelling for an industrial cyclical.
