What changed
The stock rose 25.97% over the last year. Revenue grew 0.22% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 23.66% to 25.02%. Free cash flow grew 16.04% 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 8th percentile of their historical P/FCF range.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin is at 25.02%. Revenue grew 0.22% — this thesis depends on that trajectory holding. 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.
