Quarterly sales

Same-quarter comparison

Reported revenue in USD. Growth can include acquisitions, exchange-rate changes and price changes.

Quarterly profit

Operating profit shows the business before financing and tax. Net income can also reflect asset sales and other one-off items.

Operating profit changes

Latest quarter against the same quarter last year. The sales effect holds the old margin fixed; the remaining change comes from the margin. These two amounts add up to the change in operating profit.

Quarterly profit and cash

Cash can move sharply between quarters. Check the four-quarter comparison and working-capital changes before drawing a conclusion.

Working capital and sales

Same quarter one year earlier. Receivables and inventory are balances at the reporting date; sales cover the quarter. Faster growth can tie up cash, but acquisitions and payment timing can also explain a change.

Quarterly results and year-to-date figures

Operating profit explains the largest part of the profit change

Its contribution was $101.88m. The bridge reconciles the two quarters; it does not by itself establish whether the change will repeat.

See the figures โ†“

Separate earnings growth from the share count

At the old share count, current profit would produce EPS of $1.95. The changed share count contributes $+0.08 per share. This does not attribute all changes in shares to buybacks.

Change in quarterly profit

USD. Components add up to the total change. Non-operating items can include interest, investment income and other gains or charges.

Profit growth versus the share count

Reported diluted EPS is checked against profit divided by weighted diluted shares. Split periods are excluded. The share-count effect is measured after the profit change.

Cash conversion

USD. Cash timing can differ from profit recognition. Use several quarters to check whether a difference persists.

Recurring earnings and accounting checks

No reviewed schedule of unusual profit items is recorded. Reported profit is not assumed to be recurring profit.

Growth from pricing, volume, acquisitions and currency is identified only when the company provides a matching breakdown. A financial bridge explains the arithmetic, not the business cause. Gains are positive and charges negative in the unusual-item schedule.

Growth and capital

Investment and cash requirements

Compare the cash generated by the business with investment, acquisitions, dividends and buybacks.

Cash generated and cash used

Cash after capital spending

Cash after capital spending is before acquisitions, dividends and buybacks. A full remaining-cash figure is shown only when all those amounts are matched; missing payments are never zero. A shortfall may be met by cash balances, borrowing or asset sales. These figures do not establish the funding source or the return on new investment.

Investment returns and funding

These cash measures show funding needs. They do not calculate the return on new investment. That requires comparable invested capital, after-tax operating profit and a supported required return. Acquisitions, disposals and accounting changes need separate treatment. Check the return-on-capital comparison in Peers & sector where those inputs are available.

Share price and peers

Performance, earnings and valuation compared with the market and other companies.

Understand the share price

Share-price performance

Separate the companyโ€™s move from the wider market. Then examine the change in earnings and the price paid for them.

Earnings and valuation contributions

At the old earnings multiple, the latest trailing EPS would imply $138.65. The actual close was $192.60.

2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11. The earnings contribution holds the starting P/E fixed; the remaining change comes from the P/E. This is an accounting comparison, not a fair-value estimate or proof of why investors traded.

What the peer measures mean
Price / earnings
The share price divided by trailing statement earnings per share. Lower can mean cheaper earnings, weaker growth or greater risk. Loss-making companies have no meaningful P/E.
Enterprise value / EBITDA
Enterprise value includes equity and net debt. EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. This multiple does not account for the capital spending needed to keep the business running.
Operating margin
The percentage of revenue left as operating profit, before interest and tax. Product mix and accounting policies affect comparisons.
Return on invested capital
After-tax operating profit relative to capital invested in the business. A higher return can reflect a stronger business or a smaller recorded capital base.
Cash after capital spending / enterprise value
Cash after capital spending divided by enterprise value. Check whether cash flow is repeatable and how much must cover debt and other commitments.
Cash after capital spending / profit
Cash after capital spending divided by net income over the same trailing period. A value of 1 means one dollar of cash remains for each dollar of profit. Growth investment and working capital can change this ratio.
Net debt / EBITDA
Debt less cash divided by trailing EBITDA. A negative value means cash exceeds debt. Debt maturities and interest costs still need separate checks.
Revenue growth over one year
The change in revenue over one year. Acquisitions, disposals, exchange rates and changes in pricing can affect the result.
Annual revenue growth over three years
The annual rate of revenue growth across three years. Compare it with the latest year to see whether growth has accelerated or slowed.
Adjusted-price change over one year
Change across the stored one-year adjusted-price window. These factor histories include dividend adjustments; they are separate from the quoted-price comparisons. Current constituents are used.

Comparisons use stored statement-based factors. Earnings-release EPS can use a different basis from these financial statements. Missing measures and unprofitable earnings multiples are omitted. Financial periods differ across issuers; matching publication weeks does not make their businesses identical.

Valuation methodEarnings and historical valuation

A sufficiently complete, positive earnings record allows the stock's own P/E history to be used.

No investment rating is assigned.

The assessment checks earnings and, where suitable, an alternative cash-flow approach. It still needs current financials, complete inputs and a model suitable for automatic publication. โ€œNot ratedโ€ means those requirements are not met; it does not mean Hold.

Cash flow across the cycleIncompleteRecorded cash-flow, investment, debt, cash, preferred stock, minority interests and share-count inputs are required; missing amounts are not assumed to be zero. Missing: interest expense (trailing twelve months).

Earnings and historical valuation

The model estimates earnings for the 12-month period ending on the target date, then applies a P/E from this stock's own weekly history. It uses the same earnings-release EPS basis for both. Other valuation methods below remain separate comparisons.

Sales growth starts at the median of the latest four quarterly year-on-year changes, limited to โˆ’20% to +30%. The central net margin moves halfway towards the median of up to five annual results. Projected statement profit changes are applied proportionally to trailing release EPS, assuming a constant share count and earnings basis. Reporting lag is included in the projection period.

The central multiple is the median usable historical P/E. Ordinary weaker and stronger cases vary growth, margin and P/E around the central assumptions using observed dispersion and the stated business-specific minimum bands. The combined sales contraction and multiple shock is a separate severe stress. These are explicit SM assumptions, not analyst consensus.

Historical profits may contain unusual items. Neither a historical median nor the reconciliation thresholds establish recurring earnings. Changes in the business, dilution, acquisitions or accounting treatment can invalidate the assumptions.

Rating criteria

Buy: at least 15.0% price upside (the higher of 15% or half the stock's annualised volatility), upside at least as large as the weaker-case decline, and passing cash and debt checks. Sell: at least 15% central price downside. Hold: the remaining rated cases. Dividends, fees and tax are excluded.

For Buy, operating cash must cover at least 80% of statement profit and cash after capital spending must be positive. Debt must be covered by cash, or net debt / EBITDA must be no more than 3 with interest cover of at least 3.

Publication safeguards. Model estimates below one quarter or above four times the current price require a separate valuation review. Cash-flow estimates also require review when more than 90% of their absolute present value comes from after year five. These are SM review thresholds; they do not cap the calculated value or move it towards the market price.

This is an automated research assessment. The policy has not yet been validated against subsequent stock returns. It does not account for your portfolio, tax position or investment needs.

New data refreshes the evidence. A formal review determines whether the published assessment changes. Editing the valuation controls below changes your scenario only. Saving your case preserves this dated assessment alongside your assumptions.

Some of the countries where we maintain offices and/or have agency relationships maintain strict currency control regulations that influence our ability to hedge foreign currency exposure. We try to compensate for these exposures by accelerating international currency settlements among our offices or agents.

Understand the business. Review sales, profit and cash generation. Open the evidence link beneath each conclusion.

Test the assumptions. A valuation is a scenario. Change growth, margins and the discount rate to see how much the result depends on them.

Keep track. Save your own reasons and conditions. Revisit them after results. Figures show their observation dates. Data notes explain unavailable information.

Data notes ยท 2 to review

Forecasts and results

Forecasts and reported results

Follow the forecasts behind the current assessment. Earlier versions remain in the full record. Price movements alone do not settle the business case.

Full forecast record โ†“

No forecast matching the current assessment has been recorded. Earlier forecasts, if any, remain in the full record. The published assessment and its review conditions remain available below.

Forecasts are frozen when recorded. Actuals use the matching full financial year or four reported quarters, on the forecast's stated profit basis. Dated results are retained; restatements are recorded separately. Forecasts made after the period began are identified. Revisions, overlapping periods and preview records are not independent evidence of forecasting skill.

When we review a rating
Regular review

Every 90 days

Recheck the business, assumptions and valuation. The target keeps its original end date until that horizon expires. A routine data refresh does not issue a new rating.

Earlier review

When the evidence changes

New results, revised financial statements, a material company disclosure, a change in the valuation method or failing cash and debt checks trigger a review. Same-period guidance revisions require at least 5% for EPS or 10% for other measures. Consensus EPS revisions require 10% and at least three analysts.

Price movements

Wait for a sustained change

A price-only signal must persist for 14 days across separate completed weeks. Rating changes normally wait at least 30 days and must clear five-percentage-point entry and exit bands. A direct Buy-to-Sell or Sell-to-Buy change requires material company evidence.

Data and events

Suspend an unreliable call

Missing essential data, an unresolved material event or a share-basis change can suspend a call immediately. An expired target or data check more than three days overdue is not shown as an active rating. Original assessments remain in the record.

A reviewed target normally changes only by 5% or more; a rating change or an expired horizon can also require a new assessment. These are explicit research-policy thresholds, not statistically proven trading rules. Policy sm-review-2-research.

Forecast record

Forecast accuracy

Forecast errors in sales, operating profit and cash are recorded separately from share-price outcomes. Preview records never enter live accuracy figures.

There are no completed live operating forecasts to assess yet. A useful record takes time; historical fits and preview scenarios are not substituted for it.

Forecasts are frozen when recorded. Actuals use the matching full financial year or four reported quarters, on the forecast's stated profit basis. Dated results are retained; restatements are recorded separately. Forecasts made after the period began are identified. Revisions, overlapping periods and preview records are not independent evidence of forecasting skill. Read the share-price assessment record โ†—

Data and model checks

Data validation

Automated checks cover dates, units and accounting relationships. A matched filing fact confirms that reported amount and basis; it does not establish recurring earnings or validate a forecast.

Operating company

Value operating cash flow or comparable earnings; deduct debt and other ownership claims where appropriate.

17 of 18 checks passed. 117 financial cells have a matched filing basis; 0 other recorded cells have not been matched to a standard filing fact here. Missing company-specific measures and forecast coverage are explained in their sections.

Dates, accounting checks and input reconciliation
CheckStatusWhat it checks
Price observationsPassedPrices must be positive, finite, in date order and have no duplicate weeks.
Historical price basisPassedNo material split or distribution discontinuity was found between the two price histories.
Price datePassedThe latest completed close must be no more than 14 days old.
Business modelPassedValue operating cash flow or comparable earnings; deduct debt and other ownership claims where appropriate.
Earnings and share unitsPassedEarnings, profit and weighted shares are reconciled before per-share growth is used. No conflicting per-share comparisons were found.
Balance-sheet totalsPassedAssets must reconcile to liabilities and equity, allowing separately reported minority interests and 1% rounding tolerance. No conflicting complete balance sheets were found.
Consolidated depreciationPassedDepreciation from a cash-flow reconciliation is distinguished from expense components. Conflicting amounts are excluded until the statement establishes their scope. No unresolved component-versus-total conflict was found.
Statement currencyPassedValuation cash flows and the share price must use the same currency; amounts are not silently converted.
Publication datesPassedFuture financial periods and future filing dates cannot enter the assessment.
Known reporting datesPassed0 of the latest four quarters have no stored publication date. These cannot support a point-in-time claim.
Cash-flow identitiesPassedOperating cash plus negative capital spending must equal cash after capital spending. All comparable stored periods reconcile within 1%.
Operating-profit basisPassed4 of the latest four quarters have an explicit reported operating-income basis. EBIT may include non-operating items; it is not automatically treated as operating income.
Filed and stored totalsPassed0 trailing input totals differ from the stored snapshot. The matched filed totals are used in this report; original figures remain in the reconciliation table.
Ownership source reconciliationReview neededConflicting dated amounts need reconciliation before a target can be published: net ppe.
Financial periodPassedThe valuation needs a financial period no more than 150 days old.
Corporate-action basisPassedA split after the financial period needs a reviewed reconciliation of shares, earnings per share and the quoted price.
Share countPassedPer-share enterprise and book values require a positive current share count.
Ownership and debt amountsPassedDebt, cash, preferred stock and minority interests cannot be negative.
Sources and dates

Financial statements, completed weekly prices, analyst estimates and SEC filings where available. Forecast collection dates and fiscal periods are shown beside the figures.

Financial history may include restatements. This report describes current evidence; it is not a historical backtest. Estimates and model values can change.

Important information

SM Virtual Analyst is an automated research report for general information. Its model ratings and price targets are not personal investment advice, an offer to trade, or a guarantee of value or return. The report does not consider your financial circumstances, objectives, tax position or capacity for loss.

Reported figures can be delayed, incomplete, corrected or restated. Source checks confirm specific reported amounts and accounting relationships; they do not audit a company, establish recurring earnings or prove that a forecast is accurate. Missing information is not assumed to be zero unless a particular illustration expressly says so.

Valuations depend on the stated business model, assumptions and available data. Scenario ranges are illustrations, not probabilities, confidence intervals or limits on loss. Ratings use the disclosed review policy; they are not an independently validated prediction of future returns. Past performance and historical comparisons do not predict future results. An investment can lose its entire value.

Prices, financial periods, publication dates, model versions and review dates are shown in the report. The dated published assessment is separate from editable valuation illustrations. Unless expressly stated otherwise, price comparisons exclude dividends, fees and taxes. Check the latest company filings and subsequent events before making a decision, and seek qualified advice when needed.

Price & value

How the valuation works

For operating companies, the model estimates five years of after-tax operating profit, deducts the investment needed for growth and discounts the resulting cash. It adds a value for later years, deducts net debt and other ownership claims, then divides by the current share count.

For banks and insurers, it uses common equity and the earnings above the assumed cost of equity. Retained earnings fund growth; negative growth does not automatically release capital.

The discount rate expresses the annual return required for the risk. Higher rates reduce present value. Growth and margins move independently in the grid, so some combinations may be unrealistic. Check capital requirements and company guidance.

The starting scenario is an illustration based on recent results. A share price can be consistent with many combinations of assumptions. Values below zero are shown as zero equity value.

What changed

How to read the estimates

Each line follows the estimate for one financial year or quarter. Changing the selected period changes the earnings being forecast.

The analyst range shows the lowest and highest available estimates. It is not a probability interval. The analyst count shows coverage, not certainty.

Recent historical estimates supplied with a new collection are labelled separately from observations we recorded ourselves. Neither is treated as management guidance. Percentage revisions are left blank when the earlier estimate was zero or negative.

Forecasts more than seven days old are marked for review. A rising estimate does not guarantee that the share price will rise.
