Watch Triggers
- Total Revenue 3Y Growth: Turns positive or accelerates below -10% — Determines if secular decline is stabilizing or accelerating
- Inventory: Falls below 250M or rises above 350M — Key FCF driver - normalization thesis depends on continued reduction
- Operating Margin: Rises above 3% or turns negative — At 0.98% TTM, small revenue changes swing profitability
