FCF $1.4b — respectable but not differentiating · TTM computed from 4 most-recent quarters (TTM · 03/26).
Rev+6.6%TTM YoY
C+
Revenue +6.6% — steady but below market-beating range · TTM YoY from trailing-4-quarter revenue sum vs prior 4 quarters.
D/E0.67total
B
D/E 0.67 — at market average, manageable · Total D/E computed from balance sheet (short-term + long-term debt + lease obligations) ÷ stockholders equity. More accurate than native field, which often uses long-term debt only.
P/E33.1x

P/E 33.1 — elevated; requires sustained growth to justify
PEG5.00proxy
D
PEG 5.00 — very expensive; pricing in best-case scenarios · PEG proxy: P/E ÷ revenue growth % (true PEG requires forward EPS estimates, not in Finnhub free tier).
Why now
Trading Companies & Distributors · market cap $58.9b. 3% off the 52-week high of $1286.56.
Moat
ROE 48% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. $58.9b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
Risk
Trailing P/E 33x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $1,435 (structural (no analyst coverage)) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $2,010 at ~10% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $2,954 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.
