Price from 13 days ago
18.58% operating margin is respectable but not wide. ROIC at 15.66%. Suggests the business covers its cost of capital, but doesn't point to a wide moat.
Revenue declined 0.7% YoY. The question is whether this is cyclical or a structural shift.
At 26x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration.
26.3x earnings, 22.9x FCF. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.
