Are rising revenues supporting strong margins?

Fundamentals

In its latest annual filing, reported in USD, revenue was USD 11.4 billion, rising 11.7% year over year, alongside net income of USD 2.1 billion. Over the same trailing period, profitability metrics included a 16.74% operating margin and a 13.04% net profit margin, with ROE at 17.21%.

The balance sheet stands out for the size of cash versus debt: cash of USD 11.4 billion against total debt of USD 700 million. Depreciation and amortization was USD 195 million in the period.

Is the market discounting its cash position?

DCF / Multiples

At USD 146.56, the current price sits below the DCF fair value range implied by the weaker-to-stronger scenarios. The stock also trades at 13.19x trailing earnings, with EV/EBITDA at 30.35x.

Cash Cushion Supports Stability

Takeaway

The balance sheet looks cash-heavy relative to debt. That cash cushion helps if results turn uneven. For the story to hold, earnings power needs to persist. If profitability fades, the valuation case weakens quickly.
