If you believe AXON can sustain 30%+ revenue growth and convert its 59.7% gross margin into positive operating margins, then holding AXON can be justified despite the premium multiples because the current valuation is still being priced for major future expansion; otherwise, CIEN’s lower EV-based valuation and better current operating profitability make AXON look difficult to own on a relative basis.
AXON trades at a higher valuation on sales and EBITDA than CIEN, even though CIEN has the larger revenue base. The implied price of $669.82 versus a current price of $527.76 suggests 26.9% upside, but the DCF range of $2.68-$3.63 is far below the market price, indicating the valuation signals are internally inconsistent and hard to reconcile from the provided data alone.
