Base and Bull scenarios

Base50%

Price target

$24.14

-50.7% from spot

Positive rail growth supports a measured recovery. This path fails if rail growth stalls, operating margin misses the Base endpoint, or investment intensity remains elevated through FY2028.

FY2027 revenue follows the analyst estimate, while annual rail revenue remains positive.
Operating margin reaches the Base endpoint by FY2030, while capital spending normalizes by FY2028.

Bull20%

Price target

$43.01

-12.2% from spot

The higher outcome needs stronger operations and cash than Base. Persistent rail growth and a higher margin raise profit; lower investment spending must then turn more of that profit into free cash flow.

Rail revenue remains positive beyond FY2027, extending the recovery past the dated estimate window.
Operating margin exceeds the Base endpoint and moves toward the lower direct-peer benchmark, while lower capital intensity produces stronger free cash flow.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($24.14). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
