Current thesis

The best post-earnings evidence is company-sourced: Q4 fee revenue rose 7%, backlog rose 10%, margins held, and Q1 FY27 EPS guidance bracketed consensus in checked secondary coverage, leaving the report supportive rather than merely defensive. The anchor price of $70.57 on June 25, 2026 also suggests the market accepted the print positively.
