Percentage margins are not one of the things we are seeking to optimize. Itโs the absolute dollar free cash flow per share that you want to maximize, and if you can do that by lowering margins, we would do that. So if you could take the free cash flow, thatโs something that investors can spend. Investors canโt spend percentage margins.
