What changed
The stock rose 8.97% over the last year. Revenue declined 4.78% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 16.81% to 4.74%. Free cash flow declined 16.17% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
The stock has moved higher against modestly weakening underlying metrics. The operating data does not yet tell a clear story — the move may reflect sentiment, sector rotation, or macro factors rather than company-specific earnings power.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin currently stands at 4.74%. A decisive move in revenue — currently down 4.78% — would be the clearest signal to resolve the ambiguity.
