Context and risks
The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) makes financing more expensive for a company with net debt/EBITDA of 2.93, though not extreme. The stock's fall to the 3rd percentile of its 52-week range already reflects part of the penalty, but refinancing risk in a high-rate environment justifies a moderate adjustment.
