Absolute figures with year-over-year change. Margins show the level with the change in percentage points (pp). “n/m” = not meaningful (prior ≤ 0); ⚠ marks a large percentage off a small base — read the dollar figure.
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 4.3%/yr (revenue basis).
Base free cash flow $372M (avg FY2023–FY2025; latest year $324M) · equity value $8.6B · levered FCF discounted at the cost of equity. Reverse DCF is illustrative, not advice.
