Yet context matters—the elevated PE ratio of 256 indicates the market has already priced in substantial growth expectations. Meanwhile, revenue growth shows deceleration, with Q4 2025 reporting 17.74% year-over-year increase and Q3 2025 up just 11.09%, suggesting the cloud services and ERP business faces near-term pressure despite the strong bottom-line recovery.
