Confirming evidence

  • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +4.3.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • Higher debt versus fiscal 2025 year-end increases balance-sheet sensitivity despite strong operating cash flow.
  • GAAP revenue and adjusted earnings were lower year over year in stored third-party context, while the growth framing excludes USAID, Department of State, and episodic disaster-response activity.
