If you believe NET can sustain 30% revenue growth while rapidly converting that growth into positive operating and net margins, then holding or accumulating may be justified; otherwise, the current premium versus MSFT is difficult to defend because NET trades at 44.8x P/S despite -9.6% operating margin and -40.2% ROIC.
NET is priced far above MSFT-based implied value, with a current price of $278.98 versus an implied price of $64.70 from the P/S framework, indicating a -76.8% gap. The market is effectively paying for NET's faster growth, but the premium is extreme relative to its much weaker earnings and cash generation profile versus MSFT.
