Performance
Price vs Fundamentals
The stock rose 21.73% over the last year. Revenue grew 6.41% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 8.83% to 11.27%. Free cash flow declined 8.45% over the trailing twelve months.
The stock is trading toward the richer end of its historical P/FCF range (98th percentile) while business metrics are improving. More of the upside is already embedded in the multiple now.
Operating margin is at 11.27% — continued expansion would be needed to justify the premium. Revenue growth of 6.41% is encouraging, but any deceleration puts the stretched multiple at risk. This read changes if revenue, margins, and cash flow continue to improve faster than expected — in that case the richer multiple could still prove conservative.
