The operating margin is 20.3%, and the business earns a profit of 19% on the capital invested in it. The company has net debt of -0.1 times EBITDA, so it holds slightly more cash than debt, and it pays no dividend.

Our fair value blend is $199.40 (range $191.88 to $207.64). At $331.21 the stock trades 66% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
