Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$223.86

-4.7% from spot

This path requires modest sales growth and stable margins. Weaker cash generation or estimate delivery would disconfirm it.

FY2026 and FY2027 sales follow the dated estimate path.
Free cash flow stays positive while debt does not rise materially.

Bull20%

Price target

$420.12

+78.9% from spot

Sustained estimate delivery and dated support beyond FY2027 would keep upside alive. Weaker estimates or cash generation would disconfirm it.

Revenue reaches the upper part of the FY2026 and FY2027 estimate ranges.
EPS outgrows revenue while free cash flow strengthens and debt declines.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($223.86). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
