TPI Composites delivered revenue growth in Q1, with management attributing the results to robust demand for wind blades in the U.S. market and the completion of several production line transitions in Mexico. CEO Bill Siwek explained that ramped-up operations and improved manufacturing utilization, especially in Mexico, were key. He also noted that the company faced headwinds from higher warranty charges and ongoing restructuring in Türkiye, driven by competitive challenges from Chinese manufacturers and a hyperinflationary environment.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.
