Relative Wealth Chart & Whats Priced In: FFIV dramatically improved its
CFROI profile over the past decade while also growing its asset base at a high rate.
Nonetheless, the market is skeptical of FFIV going forward as its price embeds
margins to decrease 800bps from forecast levels with long-term sales growth of 6%.
Market & Analyst Sentim ent: While expectations may appear low, price
performance has been poor (down 45%+ the last year) and CFROI revisions
continue to fall, which may weigh on the shares in the near-term.
