Shortcut’s reasoning.

The segment model estimates total revenue of $3,160.465 million. Freight and Transit operating income, less the unallocated operating cost assumption, produce adjusted operating income of about $687.216 million.

After $76 million of net interest and other expense, adjusted pre-tax income is $611.216155 million. Applying the assumed 24.5% tax rate and $2 million of noncontrolling interests gives adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of $459.468197 million.

Dividing by 169.111568 million diluted shares gives adjusted diluted EPS of 2.716953089669583, versus the frozen Street estimate of $2.74. The complete public export preserves all 77 EPS dependency cells from the reviewed forecast.

The tax rate and growth assumptions remain judgments. Applying a full-year tax guide to this quarter does not establish the uniquely correct quarterly rate. The separate 60.9% beat probability blends the historical cohort estimate and a model-implied estimate tail; it does not multiply forecast EPS.
