Are Profits Holding Up With Low Leverage?

Fundamentals

For FY 2025, reported in USD, revenue reached about USD 9.1 billion, with EBIT of roughly USD 1.3 billion and net income of about USD 1.0 billion. Over the same period, revenue grew 29.5% year over year, alongside trailing margins that stayed elevated, including a 25.13% gross margin, 15.70% operating margin, and 12.07% net profit margin.

Cash spending and balance-sheet leverage remained restrained relative to earnings. Depreciation and amortization totaled about USD 79.6 million and capital spending was roughly USD 154.9 million, producing a cash flow proxy of about USD 968.3 million. Total debt stood at about USD 6.2 million, while ROE over the trailing period measured 51.69%.

Is The Market Overpaying For Quality?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 1,867.09 per share, the stock trades above a DCF range that runs from about USD 875 in a weaker scenario to roughly USD 1,565 at the midpoint and around USD 2,491 in a stronger outcome. The pricing also comes with headline multiples of 53.71x trailing earnings and 39.13x EV/EBITDA.

Strong But Priced For Perfection

Takeaway

Operations are delivering high margins and sizable earnings. The balance sheet carries very little reported debt. For this to work, margins and growth need to stay durable. A slip in job profitability would matter quickly at this pricing.
