Operating margin is thin at 8.74%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise, not the profile of a wide-moat business.
Revenue grew 13.6%, still solid. Free cash flow declined 25% despite revenue growth, conversion is weakening.
At 226x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 25% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened.
225.8x earnings, 128.2x 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.
