Q4 FY2026
Growth is positive but not explosive, which usually supports a steadier compounding case than a hyper-growth story.
Cash generation stands out versus market value, which helps the stock absorb valuation pressure better than weaker cash converters.
Valuation looks more grounded than many growth names, which can improve the risk/reward if fundamentals hold up.
Balance-sheet leverage is elevated, so investors should watch refinancing costs and how much flexibility management really has.
