🔖 Exposure: revenue $15.4B (FY2026), total debt $1.5B. Experience: revenue up 1.9% on the year, down 2.0% a year over 4 years; operating margin 7.3%, down from 7.4%. Soundness: equity 30.1% of assets, return on equity 21.5%, payout 30.3% 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 $13.3B and $16.8B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% against $10B+ filers; on a year the method never saw, 83.4% landed inside). In a shock year the stress range is $11.9B to $18.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (9 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-family clothing stores): operating margin 7.3% against a 7.3% median; growth 1.9% against 4.1%.
Gold paid out, navy kept. Kept share × return on equity = the growth it can fund itself. Facts from the filings, not a recommendation.
