It’s breaking news to me.

Not so long as the fasteners don't fail.

Stories like this make you wonder who is shorting the stock.

2 things come into play here. Since 9/11 there had been so little demand for aircraft fasteners that many suppliers dried up. Some were “absorbed” by other fastener companies and some merely dumped all their inventory as scrap. Secondly due to all the new requirements pertaining to new composites, new fasteners had to be invented.
