Criteria proven by this page:

• VALUE (10/100, Fail) — negative P/E indicates the company is currently operating at a loss — DCF and P/E-based valuation models cannot produce meaningful results for unprofitable companies (P/E -10.8); trailing earnings yield is below the 10-year Treasury yield (~4.3%), meaning bonds offer a better return (EY -9.28%); analyst consensus target implies downside from the current price ($119.25, 71%); PEG > 2.0 means the stock is expensive even after accounting for growth (PEG 2.33).
• Forward P/E 102.9 — analysts expect a return to profitability with estimated EPS of $4.00 for FY2026.
