## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $86.3B (FY2026), total debt $39.9B. Experience: revenue up 3.1% on the year, down 2.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 11.8%, down from 12.5%. Soundness: equity -18.3% of assets (liabilities exceed assets), payout 39.6% 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 $75.6B and $91.3B 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 $69.6B to $98.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (8 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 11.8% against a 7.6% median; growth 3.1% against 3.1%.
