The score fell 3 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 6.9%, from $64.00 to $68.41. Reported annual EPS changed from $1.55 to $1.64.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 3.1 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Historical cheapness: current PE is 40× versus the full-history median of 32.1× shown in the valuation table, producing 36.4/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 39.9/100. The model applies a 18.5% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 31.8× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 39.1× PE and $2.1 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Business trends are strong. Over the past year: revenue +8.6%, earnings +23.3%, operating margin +4 percentage points. Free cash flow is 35.7% of revenue. The business score is 79.5/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Stronger earnings and valuation could support a higher share price.

Our favorable case uses $2.09 of EPS and a 39.1× PE, suggesting a share price of about $81.62. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.
