## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $11.3B (FY2026), total debt $2.4B. Experience: revenue up 8.9% on the year, up 9.4% a year over 4 years; operating margin 23.1%, up from 22.8%. Soundness: equity 48.8% of assets, return on equity 38.9%, payout 35.1% of profit, dividend per share up 3 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $11.1B and $12.6B 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 $10.6B to $13.2B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (14 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 23.1% against a 6.1% median; growth 8.9% against 3.4%.
