Earnings Review · 27 October 2026
The print
Results are in but not yet verified against a primary source in our ledger; this review updates the moment the audited figures land. What does not change is our read below.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Underlying money flow is neutral (21-day Chaikin Money Flow +0.02, five-day price change +3.9%, as of 2026-10-23, desk flow model): no strong accumulation or distribution signature.
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 3%, net margins near 42%, a strong competitive moat, backed by a 22% return on equity.
Levels that matter
At $309.89 the shares sit 8% below the 52-week high of $335.55 and 21% above the low of $256.54 (68% of the way up the range). The 50-day average is $299.79, below the price. The 200-day average is $292.38, below the price.
The valuation lens
The shares trade about 27% above our fair-value estimate: priced for things to go right. Fair value lands near $215 against a $295.33 share price, a margin of safety of about -27%. The trailing multiple sits around 28 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
The two standards split: it clears the faith-based (AAOIFI) screen but not our broader anchor screen. We default to protection and do not call it compliant on a divergence.
The compliant alternative
If the theme is what draws you, Big Yellow Group Plc (BYG.L) sits in the same industry (REIT – Industrial) and clears our principled screen, the place to look instead of chasing a name that does not.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
