- Operating margin (steady-state) holds near 7.34%: Anchored to mean operating margin of 7.3% across the last 4 reported periods.
- Discount rate (WACC) holds near 6.22%: CAPM baseline: 5.22% risk-free + β-0.11 × 5.5% ERP = 4.63%.
What would justify investigating it again after an exit?
- Implied revenue growth (next yr → terminal) moves relative to -0.19%: Growth rate that reconciles the current share price to a 5y DCF holding margin, WACC and terminal g fixed.
- Implied steady-state FCF margin moves relative to 17.5%: FCF margin the market needs to justify the current price at modeled growth and WACC.
