MEDIUM confidence: 100% data completeness, but the composite (55) sits in the indecisive 30–70 range — strong-buy and short calls require a more decisive composite. What does confidence mean?

Working the DCF backward: holding the assumptions below, this is the free-cash-flow growth today's price implies over the next 10 years. It is a read on the price's embedded expectations — not a fair-value or target price.
The price implies FCF growth above the analyst consensus of 2.6%/yr (revenue basis).
Base free cash flow $1.9B (avg FY2023–FY2025; latest year $1.7B) · equity value $37.0B · levered FCF discounted at the cost of equity. Reverse DCF is illustrative, not advice.
