Revenue ContractionA persistent top-line decline (≈-1.9% YoY in FY2025) undermines scale advantages and limits the ability to absorb fixed costs. If revenue contraction continues, it could cap long-term margin expansion, constrain reinvestment, and slow the pace of the company’s recovery across multiple quarters.
Historical Cash Flow VolatilityWhile FCF turned positive in FY2025, prior years showed negative operating and free cash flow. This volatility reduces confidence in durability of the current improvement, making multi-quarter planning, consistent dividends, or sustained reinvestment riskier until a stable trend is proven.
Modest Returns Vs. Past PeaksROE around 6% reflects only a partial recovery versus historical peaks, indicating the company has yet to fully regain prior capital efficiency. Lower returns can limit organic growth funding and reduce the margin for error if revenues weaken, pressuring long-term shareholder value creation.
