Cheap or expensive? relatively expensive

Its price-to-earnings (P/E) is 4292.8 versus 507.5 for 4 direct peers — relatively expensive.

Revenue is growing 26% a year — the market is paying ahead for that growth. If it slows, the high multiple becomes the risk.

On analysts' next-year forecasts the multiple drops to 188.7 — they expect higher earnings.

The average analyst price target is 247.25, 4% below the current price (their view, not ours).

The stock sits at 85% of its one-year range (0% = the low, 100% = the high).

The risks

• • The stock is more volatile than average (beta 1.2) — big daily moves both ways.

Strengths

• ✅ Profitable — 0 of every 100 dollars of revenue stays as profit.
• ✅ Generates free cash flow — profit becomes cash in the bank.
• ✅ More cash than debt.
• ✅ Most analysts rate it buy (40 vs 1).
• ✅ Revenue is growing 26% a year.
