-44.3% from spot

Free cash flow conversion remains healthy as reinvestment settles between 20% and 28% of NOPAT.

Revenue growth recovers at 14.09% in FY2026 and moderates to 4.0% by FY2030.
Operating margin improves from 7.65% in FY2026 to normalized 8.48% by FY2030.

Bull20%

Price target

$154.36
