## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $27.6B (FY2025), total debt $3.8B. Experience: revenue up 3.2% on the year, up 1.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 4.5%, down from 4.9%. Soundness: equity 16.3% of assets, return on equity 27.7%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $25.5B and $29.2B 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 $24.0B to $30.8B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (11 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-auto dealers & gasoline stations): operating margin 4.5% against a 4.2% median; growth 3.2% against 4.6%.
