Consistent Revenue GrowthSustained ~12% TTM revenue growth reflects durable demand and successful scaling of consulting services. A multi-year growth run supports continued client wins, deeper account penetration and capacity to leverage fixed costs, helping revenue visibility and long-term top-line resilience.

High Returns On Equity & ProfitabilityConsistently strong ROE (~22–26%) and high gross/operating margins indicate profitable core operations and effective capital allocation. Even with some margin normalization, elevated returns suggest structural competitive advantages, pricing power, and efficient service delivery.

Markedly Improved Leverage ProfileA sharp decline in leverage to a debt-to-equity of ~0.24 shows deliberate balance-sheet repair and more conservative capital structure. Stronger equity and lower relative debt enhance financial flexibility to invest, weather downturns, or pursue M&A without overburdening cash flow.

Bears Say

Recent Negative Free Cash Flow GrowthAlthough FCF roughly aligns with net income historically, a ~-10% decline in FCF growth signals weakening cash generation momentum. Variable operating cash conversion (only modestly above 1x in TTM) raises risk that cash will be less reliable to fund investments, dividends or deleveraging.

Margin NormalizationMargins have eased from the 2024 peak, with net margin sliding to ~18% TTM. This normalization reduces the earnings cushion and could reflect rising costs or pricing pressure. If persistent, it may constrain free cash flow and reduce financial flexibility over the medium term.

Absolute Debt Still MaterialEven with a much lower debt-to-equity ratio, management notes total debt is still material in absolute terms. That outstanding debt can limit strategic optionality, increase interest exposure, and become a constraint if revenue or cash flow weakens, requiring continued focus on repayment.
