Price vs Fundamentals
Why The Stock Is Moving
Fundamentals are supporting the moveModerate confidence
1Y Price: 42.4%Revenue (TTM): 55.74%FCF (TTM): -15.94%P/FCF: 53rd pct
What changed
The stock rose 42.4% over the last year. Revenue grew 55.74% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from -40.33% to 16.28%. Free cash flow declined 15.94% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
The stock move broadly lines up with stronger business momentum, and the shares are still only around the 53rd percentile of their historical P/FCF range.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin is at 16.28%. Revenue grew 55.74% — this thesis depends on that trajectory holding. Despite the price move, free cash flow fell 15.94%, which is worth watching as a leading indicator of future pressure. If revenue growth, margins, or free cash flow roll over while the stock keeps climbing, more of the move would be coming from multiple expansion than business progress.

Profitability & growth
Standard profitability metrics can be misleading for financial/insurance companies. GAAP requires unrealized investment gains/losses in net income (affecting ROE), and margins are blended across diverse business segments.
