## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $7.5B (FY2025), total debt $4.3B. Experience: revenue up 41.7% on the year, up 7.1% a year over 4 years; operating margin 13.5%, up from 6.2%. Soundness: equity 32.4% of assets, return on equity 27.8%, payout 20.7% of profit, dividend per share up 17 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $7.4B and $11.5B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% 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 $6.3B to $13.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (13 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 13.5% against a 0.3% median; growth 41.7% against 0.9%.
