This is a great company, but so is the current valuation. The growth just doesn't justify a $13.9 billion market cap. The stock is currently overvalued by about 40 to 50 percent. Remember what a smart investor once said - "a great business is not a great investment if you pay too much for it."

DCF on this stock is less than current. I think they have some pain to work through, but it's a needed product.
