Watch Triggers
- Operating Margin TTM: Crosses above 5% — Validates operating leverage thesis - currently -1.3% despite 80% gross margin
- Research and Development TTM: Falls below 40% of revenue — Signals platform maturity and margin expansion runway
- Total Revenue 3 Year Growth: Decelerates below 20% — Growth premium in valuation requires sustained 25%+ growth
Bull Case
Cash generation engine: 865M FCF TTM on 3.2B revenue with only 124M capex. Net debt just 442M vs 988M operating cash flow - self-funding growth.

Bear Case
P/E 493x and P/S 17x (4.4x industry median) prices in flawless execution. EPS down 29% YoY despite revenue growth - profitability not scaling.
ROIC 2.6% TTM barely covers cost of capital. 530M goodwill (15% of equity) from acquisitions not yet proving returns.
