🧮 Valuation Station: Undervalued Much?

• 🧠 PE Ratio: 17.12

• 🔮 Forward PE: ~8.87

⚖️ Risks Worth Weighing

📉 Growth is sluggish.
⚔️ Competition fierce (Euronet, Corpay, Appian…).
💣 Debt-to-equity: 689.17% (yikes).
📉 Bear market? Could get rough.
🤷 CEO confidence ≠ crystal ball.

🟢 The Bullish Case (TL;DR 🐂)

• ✅ CEO is buying

• ✅ Institutions love it

• ✅ Still profitable

• ✅ Cheap valuation

• ✅ Massive share buybacks

🔴 The Bearish Case (TL;DR 🐻)

• ⚠️ Growth = meh

• ⚠️ Debt = high-stakes

• ⚠️ Market = moody

• ⚠️ Competition = hungry

• ⚠️ Even the best investors can sometimes be hilariously wrong 😬
