Valuation has expanded, business is growing. Look at selling a covered call. The thing is that all that volatility has made the options very expensive. Looking out to September, you can sell a $175 call for $8.15. That's 5% of the current share price for $15 of upside. Worst case is that somebody buys your position at a $15 increase, but you keep the $8.15 no matter what.

Half its business is government, and that's slowing outside the US due to moves by the US administration. Europe, for example, has been highly reliant on the US for defense. That's changing, as they try to repatriate a lot of those services.
