Are Margins And Cash Flow Holding Up?

Fundamentals

For fiscal 2025, reported in USD, revenue reached about USD 6.9 billion, growing 5.9% year over year, with EBIT at roughly USD 1.2 billion. Profitability held together across the income statement, with a 31.31% gross margin alongside a 17.11% operating margin and a 15.03% net profit margin on a trailing basis.

On the balance sheet, cash ended the year at about USD 561.5 million against USD 998.6 million of total debt. Capital intensity looked light, with USD 43.8 million of capital expenditure and USD 130.7 million of depreciation and amortization, while the cash flow proxy came in at about USD 1.1 billion for the year.

Is The Market Undervaluing Its Cash Strength?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 137.93, the stock trades below the range implied by the discounted cash flow model’s outcomes. Headline pricing also looks moderate on simple multiples, with a 14.50 P/E and 13.60 EV/EBITDA alongside a 2.18 price-to-sales ratio.

Valuation Room With Caution

Takeaway

The price leaves room for the valuation to work. That case leans on steady cash generation. Debt stays manageable if cash remains consistent. If cash weakens, leverage matters more quickly. Equity returns look high, but they can be fragile.
