Can rising revenue offset narrow margins?

Fundamentals

In 2025, reported in USD, revenue reached USD 70.3 billion, alongside net income of USD 843 million. That revenue line grew 32.4% versus the prior year, while profitability remained narrow in percentage terms, with a 4.44% gross margin, 1.64% operating margin, and a 0.85% net profit margin on a trailing basis.

On the balance sheet, cash stood at USD 1.1 billion against total debt of USD 5.2 billion. Depreciation and amortization was USD 703 million, while capital spending was USD 160 million, keeping investment outlays relatively modest versus the size of the revenue base.

Is the market overpaying for thin returns?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 114.32 per share, the stock trades well above the discounted cash flow output, which is negative even under the stronger outcome. In market terms, that pricing also corresponds to a 32.47 trailing P/E and 16.80 EV/EBITDA.

High price, fragile balance sheet

Takeaway

Operations run on volume, but margins stay extremely thin. The balance sheet carries meaningful debt relative to cash. For this to work, earnings must stay dependable through cycles. If profitability slips, leverage matters more quickly. The current price assumes far better economics than the DCF indicates.
