Consulting Services · market cap $24.6b. Down 39% from 52-week high of $306.45 — deep drawdown territory. 17 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $220.47 (implying +17% upside).
Moat
Net margin 29% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. FCF converts 124% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 39% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. ROE -78% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
Horizon
1-3 yr $220.47 (17-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $322.79 at ~11% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $478.84 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.
