Daily candles, not a live feed. Price series is split-adjusted; total-return mode uses provider-adjusted prices including distributions. The chart does not predict returns.

A great business. At what price?

Test earnings growth against a change in valuation. All multiples below are your assumptions — not current company fundamentals.

Illustrative price CAGR—

CAGR = (1 + EPS growth) × (exit P/E ÷ entry P/E)^(1/years) − 1. Excludes dividends, dilution beyond EPS, taxes and fees. Not a price target. Not suitable for gold, bonds or companies with negative earnings.

NORMALIZATION / v1.0.0

Normalization workpaper

A company-specific protocol, not an approved normalized cash flow.

Reported proxy available · normalization pending
Model familyContractor DCF with working-capital stress
OCF − cash capex / diluted share10.71 USD
Price / reported cash proxy59.43×

Required adjustment tests

  1. working capital

    Normalize working-capital timing; customer advances are not recurring profit.

  2. contract quality

    Convert backlog/RPO into dated probability-weighted cash; never count face value as equity.

  3. acquisitions

    Build a pro-forma organic base and include the full capital paid for acquisitions.

Annual figures, not trailing twelve months. No automatic currency/ADR conversion. Cash proxy excludes review of leases, debt service, SBC, acquisitions and cycle. Missing values are not zero.

Company-specific method

Contractor DCF with normalized working capital and acquisition-adjusted capital returns.

Your scenario · not our forecast

Equity-per-share DCF: do not subtract net debt again. Future dilution must already be included in cash-per-share growth. This does not measure analyst consensus. Replacement capex and sustainable terminal cash still require review.

FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH · 2026-09-06

The investment case, under examination.

A dated research map, not completed valuations. The 25-company portfolio baseline is unchanged; IBM is monitored at 0% outside it. Public facts do not establish an edge: every hypothesis still needs normalized financials, price-implied expectations and independent forward tests.

Hypothesis · not a trading signal

Q2 2026 · Published 2026-07-30 · Source checked 2026-09-06

01 / What the issuer reported
Remaining performance obligations were $33.6bn versus total backlog of $53.4bn; these are different measures.
02 / Our hypothesis — not established alpha
Grid energization and skilled execution may be scarcer than announced data-center plans; execution margins decide value.
03 / What to measure next
RPO/backlog conversion, organic revenue, contract margins, labor capacity, receivables and cash flow.
04 / What would challenge the thesis
Reassess if project overruns or labor inflation erase margins, or receivables rise faster than completed work.
05 / Appropriate valuation method
Contractor DCF with normalized working capital and acquisition-adjusted capital returns.
06 / Still missing
Missing: consistent organic growth and fixed-price versus reimbursable contract exposure.

No measured consensus gap or approved price target. A familiar good business can still be an expensive stock.

Issuer-reported figures, not an independent accounting audit. Review after the next report or material filing. These review triggers are proposed, not automatic sell rules. Weights and paper mandates are unchanged.

Why this position exists

Transmission and mission-critical construction

Connecting generation and data centers creates a multi-year construction backlog.

Principal risk

Labor availability, project timing, weather and working-capital volatility.

A headline never changes a weight by itself. The system verifies the primary source, tests the KPI trend and creates a proposal for the investment committee.
