Valuation
Cash-flow DCF
Verdict: fairly priced. Price above Base.
The price needs 10.4% free cash flow growth a year for 5 years. Our scenarios assume −4.9–25.0%.
That's about its past 10-year pace of 10.1%.

FCFF base normalized by replacing latest capex with the company's trailing median capex-to-revenue ratio.
3 more notes
CapEx normalization was capped: company appears to be in a multi-year investment cycle. Median-based capex floor applied at 60% of TTM capex.
Historical FCFF CAGR and the default growth rates are taken from the raw historical series. The valuation base is normalized for the current-period DCF.
Reported total debt includes capitalised leases (~21% of the total). They are excluded from net debt and from the WACC weights because rent is already charged inside operating income. The Net Debt shown here is therefore lower than the balance-sheet figure elsewhere on this page.
Free cash flow each value needs
Free cash flow today $308M. The price needs $661M by 2036. Base case: $654M. At its recent pace: $809M. Bear to Bull: $285M to $1.8B.

Price vs Fundamentals
Why The Stock Is Moving
Note: The most recent financial data is over 3 months old. Metrics shown may not reflect the latest reporting period.
What changed
The stock fell 48.27% over the last year. Revenue grew 2.23% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 11.13% to 10.76%. Free cash flow grew 40.83% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
Visible fundamentals weakened far less than the stock price, and the shares now sit around the 0th percentile of their historical P/FCF range. That looks more like a rerating of the multiple than a collapse in the business.
What would invalidate this read
This read changes if operating margin (currently 10.76%) continues to decline, or if revenue growth turns negative. The bull case requires the business to hold its current trajectory.
