Key Considerations
- 📊 Index removal after a quarter of strong revenue and EBITDA growth puts more focus on active investors rather than index funds as marginal buyers.
- 📊 Keep an eye on trading volumes, ownership shifts and how the share price tracks against the US$207.94 target and high P/E of 74.3.
- ⚠️ One flagged risk is that profit margins of 9.3% are lower than last year, which matters if future growth does not offset this pressure.
