DDD vs LNKD 

Description

In this current market environment, people are willing to support LNKD at 9.3x sales. I wonder if they will do the same for DDD?

I think you might have hyped up the sales growth for LNKD. :)
It should around 50% YOY. Whatever the true number is, investors are willing to pay up for DDD, they bidded the price up to 20x sales. This never occured to LNKD.

It looks like LNKD's sales are growing at 100% per year while DDD's are growing at roughly 40%: LNKD gets a higher valuation as a result. LNKD has a higher Free Cash Flow Margin too, although unprofitable from a traditional accounting methodology. I'd be willing to pay twice the valuation of LNKD versus DDD from the higher sales growth rate, generally speaking.
