## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $9.4B (FY2026), total debt $2.6B. Experience: revenue up 7.3% on the year, up 3.3% a year over 4 years; operating margin 12.5%, up from 6.9%. Soundness: equity 30.8% of assets, return on equity 12.6%, payout 46.4% of profit, dividend per share up 7 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $8.9B and $10.9B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% against $1B–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 $8.3B to $11.7B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (22 filers, $50M+ revenue, investment advice): operating margin 12.5% against a 20.8% median; growth 7.3% against 7.5%.
