If management hits its targets, one share by the end of 2028

$80.11 → $88.85

If management hits its targets

from IR material and Earnings Calls

What one share would be worth today and in 12, 24 and 36 months if the company does exactly what its management has promised, next to what a share costs now. Worked out from the targets management gave in its own results decks and earnings calls.

$80 → $80

One guided year on: +5% a year. 2027 is the year management has guided, and it is still running 12 months from the price date, so the 12-month bar, $80.11, stays at or near today's price: the model counts no growth until a guided year is over and only the share count moves. Carried one year past it on management's own figures, the same ones the 24- and 36-month bars use, a share works out to $88.85 at the end of 2028, 26 months from the price date. Climbing there at an even pace from today's $80.11 is +5% a year, $83.99 in 12 months, and that is the figure the Companies page lists.

Show the math

today's company value held at 9× the operating profit management's guided 2027 sales imply at the margin it last reported, then grown at 15-20% a year, the only annual growth range management has given for a year without acquisitions in it; net debt of $1.9B taken off and the result divided by a share count growing 3.8% a year, as it did in the half to 31 Jul 2026. Each figure management gave as a range is taken at its middle. Up to the end of 2027, the year management has guided, the company's value is today's and only the share count moves, so the figure is held at today's price rather than shown falling with the dilution.

Show the math, step by step

How we got there: company value if the plan is delivered, minus debt, divided by all the shares, including the new ones they’d have to sell to pay for it.

  1. The base. The first 2027 guide, $6.5-6.75bn of net sales, given with the Q3 2026 results. At the 17.4% non-GAAP operating margin reported for Q3 2026 that sets the multiple at 9×, after which the base cancels out of the later years. 2026 is nine months reported with its fourth quarter guided, so the base year has rolled on to 2027.
  2. The growth. 2028-30 are not guided; on the Q1 2026 call management refused to go beyond the year. The range is the first full-year guide it ever gave, 15% to 20%, carried forward as the stated driver.
  3. The margin. Held flat at the last reported figure. No deck in eight states a margin target, the line-item guidance page was dropped in Q3 '25, and the chief financial officer declined to say what the new factory ramp does to margin at all. No number, no growth.
  4. The debt. Net debt is $1.9B: the 28 Sep '26 balance sheet in the Q3 release, which holds the $500M of notes, plus the $1.1B of secured term loans drawn two days later to pay cash for Epiq Solutions. The release puts leverage at 2.8 times pro forma EBITDA. Fees and the pending ILFA, Ophir Optics ($650M) and UK purchases are outside it.
  5. Arithmetic. (company value − net debt) ÷ shares. Today: $80 × 105.3M shares. Nothing here charges the 6.750% coupon separately; the 2027 guide includes the acquisitions' financing costs.

What they keep talking about · 11

The themes that show up deck after deck, and the ones that disappear.

The beat
The first line of all eight decks; "beat and raise" from Q1 '26. Q3 '26 leads with a record: $1.2B of sales, +60% on the year.
A&D backlog
A headline bullet in the 2024 decks at $1.56B, off the headline slide from Q2 '25 — the quarter it fell to $1.46B — and back on it from Q2 '26, at $1.7B and then $2.0B.
Data centre
One bullet in Q4 '24, then a line of its own in 2026, put ahead of aerospace and defence from Q2 '26. Q3 '26 came in at 41% of sales against the 49% forecast.
Book-to-bill
On the headline slide at 1.09 and 1.10, dropped in Q2 '25 — the quarter it was 0.89 — and back from Q2 '26 at 1.49, then 2.13 in Q3 '26.
Cash funds capex
"Strong Operating Cash Flow Supports Internal Capital Investment" from the Q3 '25 redesign; Q3 '26 puts a $400M N+M expansion on the headline slide, to be paid from operating cash flow. Nine-month free cash flow was $36M.
End markets
"Four of five end markets" growing, then "all", then "nearly all", then "all" again for Q4 '26. Automotive, the one that shrank, is 7% of sales.
Golden Dome
Named programme bookings from Q1 '26; a first award and a "$600M+ pipeline" with no period in Q2 '26; another booking in Q3 '26.
Factories
Penang, Syracuse and N+M phase 1 first appear in Q2 '26. In Q3 '26 Penang profitability is "on track", Syracuse has started operations and N+M is shipping in volume.
Acquisitions
New on the headline slide in Q3 '26: STG and Epiq closed, ILFA near closing, Ophir Optics ($650M) and two UK board shops announced.
New
Q3 '26: the first guide for the next year (2027 sales $6.5-6.75B), the acquisitions line and the $400M capacity plan.
Quiet
Net debt to EBITDA, a sentence in the 2026 decks at 1.0 and 0.9, is not in the Q3 '26 deck, the quarter the release puts it at 2.8 pro forma. Capacity utilisation went in Q2 '25 and the line-item guidance page in Q3 '25.

The last eight earnings calls: what analysts kept asking about, which questions got dodged, and how much the CEO did the talking.

Share of questions by topic, call by call. A topic that suddenly dominates is usually the problem. The last row is how much of the answering the CEO did, rather than the CFO or others.

Who’s in charge, who’s selling

Shareholder votes against the board and pay, plus which executives have been selling their own shares.

  1. Tier 2 · live

    About $1.6B raised in one week to buy earnings that are not on file

    $500M of unsecured 6.750% notes on 24 Sep '26, then a $300M incremental term loan A and a seven-year $800M term loan B funded on 30 Sep, the day Epiq Solutions closed for about $1.1B in cash. Net debt goes from $465.6M on the last filed balance sheet to roughly $1.6B. Item 9.01 of the closing 8-K carries exhibits only — no Rule 3-05 financials, no Article 11 pro formas — so the only public word on what was bought is "a profitable, well-established business" in the release. Free cash flow was already negative.

  2. Tier 2 · stable

    The long-term shares vest on revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which the company buys with debt

    Performance units vest 40% on revenue, 40% on adjusted EBITDA and 20% on three-year relative shareholder return, with neither financial measure stated as adjusted for acquisitions. The Epiq closing release says the contributions are "immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA, moderately dilutive to non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2027, and accretive to non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2028" — clearing the metric that pays a year or two before the one that does not.

  3. Tier 2 · worsening

    Fifteen insiders sold $35.6M in a year, none of it plan-flagged

    260 open-market sales over the year to June 2026 and not one carrying the Rule 10b5-1 flag — mostly a block of 25 to 29 small sales each by eight officers on 23-25 June 2026, around $205-218, weeks before the stock fell 38%. The departing former chief executive sold $10.0M and the A&D president $7.5M. The only purchases in the window were $413,200 by one director.

  4. Tier 2 · stable

    A classified board, an age rule it cannot waive, and three new seats since January

    Nine directors in three classes on staggered terms, so only a third stands each year. A mandatory retirement age of 75 the board may not defer removed Kenton Alder in 2025 and John Mayer in 2026; Philip Franklin is 74. Korte and McCarthy arrived in May, and the chief executive in September 2025. Julie England, who chairs the nominating committee, drew 14.0% of votes against — against 1.4% for the chief executive.

  5. Tier 3 · worsening

    The non-GAAP definition changed mid-series, and three measures were dropped

    From Q1 '25 non-GAAP EPS excludes unrealised currency moves, restating Q4 '24 from $0.60 to $0.49 — moving a quarter that had beaten its range back inside it. 90-day backlog was redefined and the segments recast. Capacity utilisation and advanced-technology share went in Q2 '25 "no longer helpful", top-five customer share and the line-item guidance page in Q3 '25.

Where shareholders voted no

At each annual meeting shareholders vote on who sits on the board, what the executives are paid and whether the company may create more shares. These are the votes that drew the most "no"s at the last two meetings: the shares voted against (or withheld) each year, then what share of all votes cast that was. Under each one, what the vote was about and what a no means.

20252026Share 2026
England (nominating chair, '26)A board seat. Shareholders vote to keep this person on the board, the group that hires, pays and can fire the CEO. A no, or a withheld vote, says they want this director out, often because of the committee they sit on or a decision they signed off.—12.1M14.0%
Franklin (Class II, '26)A board seat.—2.7M3.1%
Roks (CEO, Class II, '26)A board seat.—1.2M1.4%
Say on payExecutive pay. Shareholders say whether they accept what the top executives were paid. The vote is advisory: the board can ignore it, but a large no is a public rebuke and boards usually change the pay plan after one.1.6M0.8M0.9%
