## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $37.6B (FY2025), total debt $9.8B. Experience: revenue up 4.0% on the year, up 13.3% a year over 4 years; operating margin 4.2%, down from 4.3%. Soundness: equity 26.3% of assets, return on equity 12.5%, payout 6.7% of profit, dividend per share up 11 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $35.4B and $42.8B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% against $10B+ filers; across 2019–2025, 69.0% landed inside, 83.4% on the one year the method never saw). In a shock year the stress range is $32.5B to $46.3B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (11 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-auto dealers & gasoline stations): operating margin 4.2% against a 4.2% median; growth 4.0% against 4.6%.
