They got what they wanted. The trifecta effect. They were able use some excess cash for buybacks, dividends and price appreciation of 50%. They will happily cash out and buy another company and **** off their BOD and management. Rinse and repeat.

They aren’t going to put of “at least 4 per share news” out unless they are very certain they will achieve that or better. Finally some momentum. Barring some sort of economic downturn, 2026 looks to be a big year.

Usually announced at the first 'Message to the Field' after earnings. Not sure where/when that is this year.

Our CFO announced 1.1% in his SWA life post Wednesday. You just gotta know where to look.

I read that too. I’m choosing to read it as he’s saying “we’re building on the previous years 1.1% PS”.
