19 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $28.1B (FY2009) to $63.4B (FY2025) — about 5.2% a year compounded over 16 years.

It earned 28.5% on invested capital in FY2025, with a median of 29.8% across 13 filed years. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 100/100.

The balance sheet carried $8.4B of total debt in FY2017. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 100/100.

The share count fell 21.8% between FY2010 and FY2025 — management has been retiring shares, which concentrates each remaining owner's claim. Capital Discipline scores it 65/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
