Ongoing tech investment
Large annual M&A and R&D in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity (e.g., a $4.18B cybersecurity deal in 2026).
10-Year Financial Trends

Net income (+7.2%), operating income (+8.7%), and EPS (+7.3%) grew at similar rates, pointing to organic rather than financially engineered growth.
