Are Margins and Cash Flow Holding Steady?

Fundamentals

For 2025 (reported in USD), revenue reached about USD 4.53 billion, with EBIT of roughly USD 1.99 billion and net income of around USD 1.07 billion. Revenue grew 13.9% year over year, alongside a trailing operating margin of 46.06% and a net profit margin of 24.60%.

From a balance-sheet angle, cash of about USD 2.4 billion sits against total debt of roughly USD 1.5 billion. Depreciation and amortization was USD 131.2 million, and the cash-flow proxy was about USD 1.66 billion under the stated proxy approach.

Is The Market Undervaluing Corpay’s Cash Engine?

DCF / Multiples

The current price of USD 352.46 sits below the fair value range implied by the DCF model, even under the weaker scenario framing. On headline multiples, the stock trades at 19.58x trailing earnings and 11.78x EV/EBITDA, alongside a 4.82x price-to-sales ratio.

Favorable But Execution Matters

Takeaway

The balance sheet looks cash-heavy relative to debt. That helps if conditions tighten or growth slows. The valuation setup assumes the cash engine holds up. If margins slip, the gap to fair value can narrow quickly. Overall, the setup leans favorable, but not without execution risk.
