Can you believe it? The stock price of a leading data analytics company broke through $187 in August this year, with a market capitalization soaring to $443 billion, directly surpassing the combined scale of the three major military industrial giants.
This company was only $10 when it went public in 2020, now it has increased nearly 19 times. From its lowest point at $5.92 to now, the cumulative increase is an astonishing 31 times. Since the beginning of this year, it has risen another 145%.
Even more outrageous is that this growth is not driven by selling consumer products, training AI models, or manufacturing chips. Its client list is incredibly impressive—the most secretive U.S. intelligence agencies and defense departments are all lining up to use their data systems.
But there is a logical flaw here. The forward P/E ratio is as high as 245, while the industry average is only 24. To compare, a certain chip giant often criticized for bubbles has a P/E ratio of just 35. How can a data company's valuation be so absurd?
From being labeled as an "evil enterprise" in Silicon Valley to now transforming into a "national destiny stock," what has this company experienced?
Behind it is a re-pricing of strategic value. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions and AI militarization, companies controlling data flows are being re-evaluated. No matter how big the valuation bubble is, the market has already bet on a new era logic.

245 times P/E ratio? That's truly outrageous, but you have to think about it—where's the business selling to the Pentagon that would be so cheap?

245x P/E ratio? Isn't this a bubble? They're just blowing up a balloon. But on the other hand, the backing of the national team is top-tier, no wonder they dare to play like this.

245x P/E ratio? Haven't we stepped on enough pits back in the day? Isn't this just a replica of 2018, only with a different name called "National Fortune Stocks"? I bet five bucks that in the end, I'll still be the sucker taking the loss.

Wow, a 245x P/E ratio? If this isn't gambling, what is...
Data is the new oil; those in the know understand, but this price is truly outrageous.
From evil corporations to national fortune stocks, the capital market really knows how to tell stories.
What the market is betting on isn't the financial reports, but geopolitical chips.
Still daring to chase a PE of 245? That's a pretty hefty IQ tax.

245x Price-to-Earnings Ratio? This isn't investing, it's gambling, but dare you say the market is wrong...
---
Data is the new oil; whoever controls it is the boss, so maybe it's just expensive.
---
From 5.92 to now... Damn, this increase, I should have gone all-in back in 2020.
---
If the Ministry of Defense uses it, then there's no need to do the math. Business paid for by the government has no ceiling.
---
What does a PE of 245 mean? It means even when you pay, people are rushing to buy. That's pricing power.
---
Honestly, if you don't understand this kind of company, don't touch it, but not understanding won't stop others from making money.
---
From an evil enterprise to a national symbol stock, what a reversal... Capital is so real.
---
The darkest company in Silicon Valley suddenly becomes a savior? Laugh out loud, this logic is really twisted.
---
Is the market crazy or am I? Anyway, no one knows the answer before the bubble peaks.
---
When strategic value is re-priced, the valuation skyrockets. Is geopolitics really worth that much?

A 245x P/E ratio is really outrageous, but thinking about the US government's endorsement... who dares to short it? This is the moat of the new era, right?
