What changed
The stock rose 71.15% over the last year. Revenue grew 24.8% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 26.52% to 34.69%. Free cash flow declined 15.5% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
The stock is trading toward the richer end of its historical P/FCF range (96th percentile) while business metrics are improving. More of the upside is already embedded in the multiple now.
What would invalidate this read
Operating margin is at 34.69% — continued expansion would be needed to justify the premium. Revenue growth of 24.8% 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.
