Revenue was close to flat at +0.7% a year over the last 4 fiscal years, so growth has to come from margins rather than volume. Profit per share grew slower (-19.1% a year), so costs are eating part of the extra revenue. Analysts expect further profit growth next year: the forward multiple is +64.9% below the trailing one.

The share is up over every window (+7.5% in 3 months, +6.6% in 6, +10.4% in 12), a consistent uptrend. The last three months are stronger than the six-month picture, so momentum is building rather than fading.

Net debt of 3.45x EBITDA is heavy: a drop in earnings would quickly strain the balance sheet. Debt at 213% of equity means the balance sheet is financed mostly by lenders.

Return on equity of 26.2% means the company earns far more on its capital than it costs to fund. Roughly 8% of revenue converts into net profit, an average conversion. ROIC of 12.8% is modest, so part of the equity return comes from leverage rather than operations.

At 29.3x trailing earnings investors already pay up for future growth. The forward P/E of 17.8 is lower, so expected profit growth makes it look cheaper looking ahead. A dividend yield of 3.7% adds to the return while you wait. Based on 75% of the inputs — the rest is not published for this instrument.

Annualised volatility of 20.4% is normal for a single share. The worst fall in the past year was -8.5%, a shallow setback. A beta of 0.5 means it typically moves less than the market.
