“In the second quarter, we delivered outstanding results, and we upgraded our Springboard Plan to grow sales to an annualized run rate of $20 billion by the end of 2026, $30 billion by the end of 2028, and $40 billion by the end of 2030. We're entering a new phase of accelerating growth, and we expect to deliver a sales CAGR of 19% from Q4 2026 to Q4 2030 – while growing earnings faster than sales, with significantly higher returns on invested capital and substantially more free cash flow.”
