Price from 13 days ago
14.26% operating margin is respectable but not wide. ROIC at 27.12%. Suggests the business covers its cost of capital, but doesn't point to a wide moat.
Revenue grew 8.1%, steady but not accelerating.
At 66x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration.
66.2x earnings, 22.2x FCF. The market is pricing in years of above-average growth. If that thesis breaks, downside from multiple compression alone could be 30%+. This is a stock where you're paying for the future, not the present.
