What Growth Is Priced In
Implied revenue growth (10Y)
-10.0%
The annual FCF growth rate today's price requires over a 10-year horizon (discount rate 10%, terminal growth 2.5%).
Dilution drag: 1.0% — per-share value needs a total required return of -9.1% once share-count change is priced in.
vs. own 6-year median revenue growth: -4.2%

Note: current FCF margin is 1.6σ above its historical mean — implied growth may understate valuation risk if the margin reverts.

Earnings bubble check
Current margins may be above sustainable levels — a P/E based on peak earnings can overstate cheapness.
Asset value and restructuring potential (balance-sheet strength) are the primary reads at this stage.

Classified decline for 2 consecutive fiscal years (2025-06-29, 2026-06-28) with no recovery to a healthier phase -- Lynch's turnaround rule: if it hasn't turned around by now, assume it isn't going to.
