What Growth Is Priced In

Implied revenue growth (10Y)

3.3%

incredible deal

The annual FCF growth rate today's price requires over a 10-year horizon (discount rate 10%, terminal growth 2.5%).

Dilution drag: 0.2% — per-share value needs a total required return of 3.5% once share-count change is priced in.

vs. own 6-year median revenue growth: 7.6%

Net debt / market cap: 31.9%— material leverage inflates the implied growth read.

Note: current FCF margin is 2.0σ above its historical mean — implied growth may understate valuation risk if the margin reverts.
