DCF / Multiples

At USD 192.43 per share, the stock trades well above intrinsic estimates from discounted cash flow analysis, implying investors are paying for durability and sustained growth.

Valuation multiples of 9.06 times sales and 56.68 times EV/EBITDA reinforce that optimism. The current price suggests the market expects continued margin stability and revenue expansion beyond recent trends.
