## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.3B (FY2026). Experience: revenue up 6.6% on the year, up 0.1% a year over 4 years; operating margin 20.1%, up from 19.8%. Soundness: equity 42.8% of assets, return on equity 49.4%, payout 107.3% of profit, dividend per share up 1 year running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.1B and $1.6B 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 $904.9M to $1.9B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (9 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-family clothing stores): operating margin 20.1% against a 7.3% median; growth 6.6% against 4.1%.
