Dilution & Margin Drag: Cannibal Buyback (-0.96% YoY Shares) — any gross margin slip below 49.5% triggers an automatic RQD downgrade.
Technical & Forensic Kill-Switch: A daily close below the 50D SMA ($33.32) or 200D SMA ($32.63) invalidates the momentum regime and cuts Target Base ($37.47) toward Bear Floor ($29.23).

Picked up a starter position in SMA in my $100K Virtual Cash book at $36.53. Revenue grew from $233.0M in FY 2023 to $281.1M in FY 2025 while FCF reached $85.0M, supported by a 4.29% FCF yield.. Trading inside a $29.41–$36.75 52-week range with 4.29% FCF yield gives solid downside support if Real Estate Investment Trusts multiples expand this quarter.
Both sides have a point here — SMA's 11/20 balance sheet score keeps downside contained, so the real swing factor next earnings call is backlog and FCF conversion.
Careful chasing SMA at $36.53. Net income swung from $11.6M in FY 2023 to a -$1.7M loss in FY 2025 while ROIC sits at 4.1% against an EV/EBITDA of 32.6.. Gross margin is 0.0%, but operating margin is 21.0%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $28.49 on multiple compression.
