Gross margin turned up 2.5 points on the quarter after a 1.4 point fall over the year, and it is the only candidate where the turn sits on a working business rather than a rounding error: revenue +15% y/y, 36% gross margin, 20 cents of operating profit and 14 cents of free cash per revenue dollar, 14% on capital. The market is paying less for it than it did, with price +8% over 12m against revenue +15% and the multiple -6%, at 19.6 times EBITDA against its own 4 year median of 19.5. The strongest fact against is the balance sheet: net debt of 3.5 times EBITDA, which makes a margin turn that stalls expensive rather than merely disappointing. I sell if gross margin rolls back over to a fresh year-on-year decline, or if price breaks the 435.71 invalidation.
