The bull case

A proven grower●●●

Revenue up 37.1% a year for 10 years.

A cushion for bad years, and room for buybacks or deals.

The bear case

Expensive against its own history●●●

P/E 445.8 vs a 10-year median of 57.8 (range 34–198).

Priced above even our optimistic case●●●

The price is 1439% above our bull case.

Weak returns on capital●●○

Growth is slowing●●○

Revenue growth over the last 12 months (8%) is well below its 5-year average (25%).

Margins shrinking●●○

Operating margin down from 16.8% to 4.6% in three years: competition or costs biting.

Heavy share-based pay●●○

$2.8bn in 2025: 3.0% of revenue, 45.4% of free cash flow. It's a real cost even though no cash leaves
