Strong Revenue and Profit Growth
Year-over-year revenue growth in 2024 was 26.4%, and net income grew by 329.2% in the same period. This indicates robust expansion and profitability, significantly outperforming the sector's average revenue growth of 8.1% and net income growth of 15.2%.
Attractive Valuation Metrics
The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio for 2024 is 11.3, which is lower than the industry average of 15.5. The Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of 2.0 for 2024 also suggests a favorable valuation compared to its peers.
Inconsistent Earnings Performance
While 2024 showed strong profit, 2023 reported a net loss of $235 million. The EPS has shown significant swings, with Q1 2025 estimate at $0.84 versus reported $0.68 in Q1 2025, suggesting potential earnings unpredictability.
High Quarterly P/E Ratios
Quarterly P/E ratios have been exceptionally high in recent periods (e.g., 439.1 in Q1 2024, 100.7 in Q2 2024), suggesting that current earnings may not justify the stock price on a short-term basis.
