## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $18.4B (FY2026), total debt $13.5B. Experience: revenue down 5.4% on the year, down 0.8% a year over 4 years; operating margin 4.8%, down from 17.0%. Soundness: equity 24.5% of assets, return on equity -1.2%, dividend per share up 6 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $15.8B and $18.4B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% 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 $14.8B to $19.6B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (47 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 4.8% against a 7.4% median; growth -5.4% against 2.7%.
