Cheap or expensive? relatively expensive
Its price-to-earnings (P/E) is 497.2 versus 41.5 for the median of the Technology sector in our universe (46 companies) — relatively expensive.
Revenue is growing 30% 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 70.4 — they expect higher earnings.
The average analyst price target is 446.50, 25% above the current price (their view, not ours).
The stock sits at 55% of its one-year range (0% = the low, 100% = the high).
