At a glanceFrom SEC data
Eight headline measures, each placed among the companies covered on this site.
- Revenue growthCAGRSmooths out year-to-year swings into "grew X% a year on average." Makes growth pace comparable across companies of very different sizes.
- -0.5%
- Operating marginOperating marginHow many cents of operating profit are left per dollar of revenue. Reflects pricing power and cost structure.
- 5.7%
- ROIC minus WACCROIC − WACC spreadThe difference between ROIC and WACC. Consistently positive implies value creation; consistently negative implies value destruction.
- +25.3 pts
- Net debt ÷ EBITDAEBITDAOperating income with D&A added back. A rough proxy for cash-generating power that’s less distorted by capital intensity, depreciation method, or financing/tax differences than net income.
- 1.5x
- Cash conversionOperating CF ÷ net income (cash conversion)How much of reported profit shows up as actual cash. 1x or higher means profit is backed by cash.
- 1.46x
- Dividend raisesDividend per shareTotal annual dividend paid per share (sum of all declared payments for the year).
- 5 of 5
- P/E todayP/EShare price ÷ EPS — how many years of current earnings the stock price represents. This site uses the period-end figure as reported in the filing.
- 11.2x
- Betaβ (beta)How much a stock moves, on average, for a 1% move in the overall market. Above 1 means more volatile than the market, which raises the return shareholders require. This site computes it from about 2.5 years (roughly 130 weeks) of weekly returns, built from Yahoo Finance daily prices, regressed against an S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as the market proxy, then applies the well-known long-run mean-reversion adjustment (0.67 × β + 0.33) as the WACC default.

Each marker shows where this company sits among the non-financial companies covered on this site, not all listed companies (left = lowest, right = highest). A high position is not automatically good — for net debt ÷ EBITDA, higher means more debt. Details and formulas are in the sections below and in How to read this.

Revenue grew -0.5% a year over 5 years (a shrinking trend)
From $56.64B in FY2020 to $55.3B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.

Operating margin held roughly flat: 6.1% → 5.7%
How much operating profit is left per $100 of revenue. It moved -0.4 points over 5 years — pricing power, cost control, and product mix all show up here.
- ▼
Equity ratio is -0.8% (relatively heavy reliance on debt)
The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).

Free cash flow was positive in 6 of 6 years
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data
ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.
ROIC (FY2025)
34.4%
formulaoperating income × (1 − tax rate) ÷ invested capital × 100 *invested capital = interest-bearing debt + total equity (average of beginning/ending)
e.g.$3,174M × (1 − 3.5%) ÷ $8,901M × 100 = 34.4%
termsOperating income · Effective tax rate · Invested capital · Interest-bearing debt · Total equity
WACC (this site’s estimate)
9.14%
formulacost of equity × equity weight + cost of debt × (1 − tax rate) × debt weight
e.g.Equity weight: $25.48B ÷ ($25.48B + $9.72B) = 72.4%
e.g.Debt weight: $9.72B ÷ ($25.48B + $9.72B) = 27.6%
e.g.WACC: 11.0% × 72.4% + 4.4% × (1 − 3.5%) × 27.6% = 9.14%
termsCost of equity · Equity weight (E/(D+E)) · Cost of debt · (1 − tax rate) · Debt weight (D/(D+E)) · Market capitalization
How firm is this? With the equity risk premium ±1 point and beta ±0.2, WACC runs 7.7%–10.9% and ROIC − WACC runs +23.5 to +26.7 points. The sign holds across this range. This describes the latest year and does not predict future value creation.

What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data
A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.
Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)
0.8%
Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 9.1% − 8.4%
Past FCF growth (FY2020–FY2025)
-5.6%
Compound annual rate, 5 years
Past revenue growth (FY2020–FY2025)
-0.5%
Compound annual rate, 5 years
Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $2.8B (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $33.44B = market cap $27.41B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $9.72B − cash and short-term investments $3.69B; r = WACC of 9.1% using this page’s default assumptions (β 1.10, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).
Three WACC scenarios
The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.
Try your own assumptions
V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.
Theoretical enterprise value
$33.73B
FCF $2.8B ÷ (9.1% − 0.8%)
Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value
1.01x
Above 1x: these assumptions value the business above the market did
How sensitive the answer is
Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.
| g \ r | 7.1% | 8.1% | 9.1% | 10.1% | 11.1% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0% | 1.18x | 1.03x | 0.92x | 0.83x | 0.75x |
| 2% | 1.64x | 1.37x | 1.18x | 1.03x | 0.92x |
| 4% | 2.70x | 2.04x | 1.64x | 1.37x | 1.18x |
| 6% | 7.61x | 3.99x | 2.70x | 2.04x | 1.64x |
| 8% | — | 83.73x | 7.61x | 3.99x | 2.70x |
A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

New or substantially reworded (3)
• International trade restrictions . Restrictions on international trade, such as tariffs and other controls on imports or exports of goods, technology or data have and may continue to, materially adversely affect our supply chain. Read more
The impact has been particularly significant for the restrictive measures that apply to countries and regions where we have significant supply chain operations. Restrictive measures have and may continue to increase the cost of our products and the components and raw materials that go into them, and can require us to take various actions, including changing suppliers, restructuring business relationships and operations, and ceasing to offer and distribute affected products and services. Changing our business model and supply chain to comply with and seek to offset the impact of new or revised trade restrictions has been, and may continue to be, expensive,…
Since April 2025, new, substantial tariffs have been imposed on imports to the United States. Read more
In response, several countries have imposed, or threatened to impose, reciprocal tariffs on imports from the United States and other retaliatory measures. As a result, during fiscal 2025, we experienced higher commodity and tariff costs, which were not fully mitigated by pricing and other actions enacted during the period. Should these or other proposed tariffs, including potential retaliatory actions imposed by other countries, be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, as proposed, enacted or otherwise, they may have a significant adverse impact to our results of operations and cash flows to the extent our efforts do not fully mitigate the effects of such tariffs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully offset or mitigate these impacts. Additionally,…
supply chain to comply with and offset the impact of new or revised trade restrictions has in the past and could in the future be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our business.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations.
As more fully disclosed in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2024 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in our internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that resulted from undue reliance on information generated from certain software solutions affecting various financial statement accounts without effectively designed and operating IT general controls, specifically around user access, change management and job schedule monitoring IT operations. This material weakness did not result in any material misstatement of our financial statements. While this material weakness did not result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, this control deficiency was not remediated as of October 31, 2024 and there is a reasonable possibility that it could have resulted in a material misstatement in the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be detected. Accordingly, we have determined that this control deficiency constituted…

Any failure to remediate the material weakness, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations, which in turn could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require significant resources to correct the material weaknesses or deficiencies, subject us to fines, penalties or judgments, harm our reputation or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence and cause a decline in the market price of our stock.
