Earnings quality

How the reported earnings were made, read from the filings. A description, not a score: our tests found no link between these measures and later share returns.

Where the change in earnings per share came from

Diluted earnings per share went from $3.33 in the fiscal year to Dec 31, 2024 to $3.52 in the year to Dec 31, 2025, a change of +$0.20.

Measured by size, 44.9% of the movement came from outside sales and operating margin: interest and other items, the tax rate, what went to others and the share count.

+$0.59
+$0.11
-$0.33
-$0.17
+$0.03
-$0.03

Earnings per share is split as sales times operating margin, plus interest and other items, after tax, times the part that goes to the common shareholders, divided by the diluted share count. Each source's part is its average effect over every order in which the six can change, so the parts add up exactly to the change. From the annual reports; net income over the diluted count matches the earnings per share the company filed within 2%.

Taxes: deferred and paid

The deferred part was 84.2% of the tax charge in the year to Dec 31, 2025. The rows show the last 3 years.

  • The deferred share is higher than at nine in ten S&P 500 companies.

When profit in the accounts runs ahead of taxable profit, the deferred part grows. It also moves for reasons unrelated to how earnings are booked: tax-law changes, the use of past losses, and the US rule since 2022 that spreads research costs over five years. Where the notes report it, the tax-rate bridge under Debt and obligations shows how the rate gets from the statutory one to the effective one.

Receivables and inventory against sales are not shown: a figure it needs is missing from the company's structured filings.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is not shown: the company does not tag it in its structured filings.

A reading is called out when it is above the 90th percentile of the same reading across the S&P 500, or, for a fall, below the 10th, as measured on 9 November 2026. Each part uses only the company's own filings.
