Forecast

Financial forecast

Project revenue, EBITDA, net income and free cash flow for the next 5 or 10 years. Growth starts at the same rate the valuation uses and fades to the long-run rate, with margins held at today's level. Bear and bull cases move growth by the company's own revenue volatility. It is a model of what the assumptions imply, not a prediction.

Price updated 07 Nov 2026 00:03; Fiscal year 2025; Annual financials downloaded 07 Nov 2026 00:03.

Starts from Fiscal year 2025 financials in USD and a share price of USD 570.89. Growth begins at 3.0% a year (capped from 9.7% because the latest annual revenue declined) and fades to 2.4% by year 10. Margins held at EBITDA n/a, net 18.0%, free cash flow 6.7% of revenue. Bear and bull move starting growth by 6.0 points and long-run growth by 1 point.

For banks, insurers and holding companies, revenue and cash flow mix in interest and investment flows. Read net income rather than free cash flow.
Starting growth was capped from 9.7% to 3.0% because the latest annual revenue declined.
Margins drift toward their 3-year average over 5 years (net), because today's margin is far above the company's own average.
Year 1 uses analyst consensus revenue growth (8.4%); year 2 is halfway back to the model's own path.

Confidence: Earnings-based DCF is somewhat apart; annual data only; profit and cash flow steady for 3 years; value is more than 2x the price; investment holding company: value is its net assets less a typical discount, and book value is only a proxy for what its stakes are worth.

EPS and free cash flow per share assume today's share count. Dividends assume today's payout ratio and book value grows with retained earnings. The implied share price follows the valuation models and is not a price target; override growth settings do not change the model fair value. Margins stay at today's level except where the notes say they drift toward their average, so it does not model margin expansion, buybacks, acquisitions or recessions. It is for information and education only and is not investment advice. See the methodology for how the growth rate is blended.
