## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $17.9B (FY2025), total debt $2.5B. Experience: revenue up 4.5% on the year, up 8.3% a year over 4 years; operating margin 13.9%, down from 15.4%. Soundness: equity 41.7% of assets, return on equity 48.4%, payout 25.8% of profit, dividend per share up 18 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $16.8B and $19.8B 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 $15.6B to $21.1B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (43 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 13.9% against a 5.0% median; growth 4.5% against 4.3%.
