The price needs 2.8% free cash flow growth a year for 5 years. Our scenarios assume −7.5–22.5%.
That's below its past 10-year pace of 7.5%.

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 10.06% over the last year. Revenue grew 10.31% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 30.93% to 30.99%. Free cash flow grew 9.31% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
The stock has moved lower against modestly improving underlying metrics. The operating data does not yet tell a clear story — the move may reflect sentiment, sector rotation, or macro factors rather than company-specific earnings power.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin currently stands at 30.99%. A decisive move in revenue — currently up 10.31% — would be the clearest signal to resolve the ambiguity.
