BUILT through the FY2026 opex bridge from EDGAR 10-K primary lines: 58.0 gross - 10.5 R&D - 13.5 S&M - 2.0 G&A - 1.5 intangible amortisation - 0.5 restructuring = 30.0. Constraint 30.0 <= 58.0 satisfied, 28.0pp headroom.

Is it a going-concern case? No, and that is argued. Interest coverage ~4.5x on FY26 interest of $4,599m against a 3.0x covenant; $31.9bn of liquid assets; the $75bn prepaid/customer-supplied hardware means a meaningful s
