Bottom line
ABM has demonstrably recovered cash conversion and reached its leverage threshold early. The stronger investment case now requires operating delivery: deferred ATS projects converting, margin improvement extending beyond seasonality, and cash gains persisting after timing effects. Tax benefits are legitimate earnings support, but they should not be capitalized as evidence that underlying profit growth has already accelerated to the EPS headline. [1][3][4]
