The segments changed
10-K filed 2026-02-24Compared with the 10-K of Feb 25, 2025: new segment Africa & APAC property; no longer reported: Africa & APAC, Property Asia Pacific.
When a company changes its segments, the years before are usually recast, so growth by segment is not comparable with what earlier 10-Ks showed. Found by comparing the segments with revenue in the last two 10-Ks (XBRL) and by the 10-K's own words, without AI.
