Analysis of recent data

Fundamentals

In 2023 financials reported in USD, revenue was about USD 24.9 billion and net income was roughly USD 1.6 billion. Revenue growth was 81.1% year over year, while trailing net profit margin is 9.08%, operating margin 12.09%, and gross margin 42.50%.

Valuation

DCF / Multiples

The current share price of USD 298.61 stands well above the range implied by the discounted cash flow model. The headline multiples are also elevated, with a 47.06 trailing P/E and 21.75 EV/EBITDA, consistent with a market price that reflects strong confidence in sustained earnings power.

Conclusion

Takeaway

The valuation setup looks demanding relative to modeled cash flows. Durability depends on keeping margins and returns from fading. Big revenue swings make long-run earning power harder to pin down. If cash generation doesn’t scale with the price, downside grows quickly. A steadier, repeatable earnings base would make the story easier to trust.
