What changed
The stock fell 60.88% over the last year. Revenue grew 25.26% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 10.48% to 11.64%. Free cash flow declined 234.87% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
Visible fundamentals weakened far less than the stock price, and the shares now sit around the 0th percentile of their historical P/E range. That looks more like a rerating of the multiple than a collapse in the business.
What would invalidate this read
This read changes if operating margin (currently 11.64%) continues to decline, or if revenue growth turns negative. The bull case requires the business to hold its current trajectory.
