🎯 FQ2 FY2026 (ends Jun) | reported Aug 04 | Rev $10.1B | Adj EPS $6.29 vs $5.62 🟢 | GAAP EPS $4.40
💡 The market priced in -0.2% FCF growth per reverse DCF, yet the earnings beat may lead to upward revisions. However, the current valuation at 15.5x run-rate P/E is near the high end of the peer band (9.4-16x), suggesting expectations have already caught up.
🏢 Business Quality: 7/10
📊 Valuation: fair — 15.5x run-rate P/E, 16.6x forward P/E, 27.2x GAAP TTM; reverse DCF implies -0.2% FCF growth; historical PE at 100th percentile.
