The business is unprofitable at the operating level (-2.22% margin). The thesis depends entirely on whether and when it reaches sustainable profitability.
Revenue grew 18.7%, still solid. Margins contracted 2.4pp, which offsets some of the top-line progress.
At 485x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration.
484.7x earnings, 60.8x 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.
