The Investment Case

Full Analysis
Fundamental Trajectory

Revenue growth accelerated to 17.4% in 2026Q3 from 2.9% in 2025Q4, but operating margin compressed to 10.7% from 16.7% and diluted EPS fell 57.1%, suggesting acquisition costs and overhead scaling to $436.4 million of SG&A are offsetting top-line gains.
