## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $2.9B (FY2026), total debt $398.6M. Experience: revenue up 6.4% on the year, up 2.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 12.8%, up from 12.5%. Soundness: equity 48.5% of assets, return on equity 14.2%, payout 37.3% of profit, dividend per share up 5 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $2.4B and $3.6B 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 $2.1B to $4.2B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (14 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 12.8% against a -1.8% median; growth 6.4% against -3.1%.
