Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$120.42

-30.8% from spot

The modal path is a mature cash generator moving through weakness before low-single-digit recovery. It fails if revenue or margin breaches the stated thresholds.

The selected annual forecasts place FY2027 revenue above FY2026; this is an expectation, not a reported recovery.
Stable operating economics and durable free cash flow are unverified base-case conditions, tested against FY2025 operating results and each full fiscal year's cash generation.

Bull20%

Price target

$204.66

+17.6% from spot

This path assumes, rather than establishes, that higher sales convert into adjusted EPS and full-year free cash flow. FY2027 adjusted EPS and FY2027 full-year cash generation are the checkpoints.

FY2027 revenue reaches the upper part of its estimate range.
Margins remain stable and FY2025-scale cash generation proves durable.
