Recent profitability has been challenged, but revenue streams are diversified, and the company is working on improving its operational efficiency.

Positive EPS Surprises
The company has consistently beaten EPS estimates in recent quarters, with a surprise percentage of 13.57% in Q2 2025, 16.99% in Q1 2025, and 16.64% in Q4 2024. This suggests a strong ability to manage expenses and generate profits above expectations.
Reasonable P/E Ratio Relative to Industry
The trailing P/E ratio of 30.80 is within a reasonable range for the industry. While not exceptionally low, it does not appear excessively overvalued based on current earnings.
High P/E Relative to Recent Earnings
The P/E ratio of 29.9 TTM is relatively high compared to the net income of $376.4 million. The company experienced a significant net loss in 2023, which skews historical valuation multiples and suggests a potential for volatility.
Fluctuating Revenue and Profitability
Revenue has shown a downward trend from $16.95 billion in 2022 to $15.37 billion in 2024. Net income has also been volatile, with a significant loss in 2023, indicating potential business challenges or cyclicality.
