2025 Outlook

T3Net and underlying sales guidance of ~3.5% growth reflects our updated expectations for pricing actions as the tariff expense exposure has reduced. GAAP EPS is now expected to be ~$4.08 and adjusted EPS guidance is now ~$6.00, an increase versus the previous midpoint. Expectations for operating cash flow and free cash flow increase to ~$3.6B and ~$3.2B, respectively. T4The 2025 outlook assumes returning ~$2.3B to shareholders through $1.1B of share repurchases and ~$1.2B of dividends, unchanged from the prior guidance.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
