Are Profits and Cash Levels Sustainable?

Fundamentals

For 2025 (reported in USD), revenue reached USD 2.96 billion, rising 60.6% year over year, alongside net income of USD 1.88 billion. Profitability remained unusually high on a trailing basis, with a 95.28% gross margin feeding through to a 46.81% operating margin and a 42.10% net profit margin, and ROE at 22.33%.

On the balance sheet, cash was USD 4.26 billion at year-end, and depreciation and amortization was USD 86.0 million. With total debt not disclosed, the most concrete balance-sheet read-through is that the company is sitting on a sizable cash position.

Is The Market Pricing Profitability Fairly?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 68.90, the share price sits within the model’s fair-value range. The stock also trades at 28.91x trailing earnings and 25.55x EV/EBITDA, which frames the current price as paying for a business that can keep translating revenue into substantial profit.

Margins Drive The Investment View

Takeaway

Operations are currently running with unusually high margins. The balance sheet looks cash-heavy, which helps absorb volatility. The case depends on keeping profitability at today’s level. If margins fade, the valuation support narrows quickly.
