In context
“been trending over the last few weeks, we continue to assume that the impact of FX on our results in U.S. Dollars will be approximately positive 2% compared to fiscal 2025. For the full fiscal 2026, we continue to expect revenue to be in the range of 2% to 5% growth in local currency over fiscal 2025, including an estimated one impact from our federal business.

For the full fiscal 2026, we continue to expect operating cash flow to be in the range of $10.8 billion to $11.5 billion, property and equipment additions to be approximately $1 billion, and free cash flow to be in the range of $9.8 billion to $10.5 billion.
