YTD 2026: revenues $13.87B (+7.7%), net income $1.016B vs. $1.043B prior year. Operating cash flow improved 14.9% to $1.481B. Debt increased to $5.707B; debt/EBITDA ratio rose to 2.07x from 1.83x.
Why this rating
Mixed results: revenue growth solid; earnings decline and litigation settlement concerning. Settlement amount undisclosed but material enough to reserve $26M pre-tax. Modest 4.2% relative to $9.7B market cap, but profitability pressure and leverage increase warrant attention.
