What changed
The stock rose 56.25% over the last year. Revenue grew 12.97% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 2.06% to 4.93%. Free cash flow grew 5.27% 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 (62nd 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 4.93% — continued expansion would be needed to justify the premium. Revenue growth of 12.97% 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.
