Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 68, showing healthy upward momentum without being stretched.
MACD is above its signal line, a sign that short-term momentum is turning up.
The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is only 0.1x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 0.44, which looks cheap relative to its expected growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 8.7% and revenue growth of +14.3%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.72 per share, which beat the $0.66 analysts expected, with revenue +14.3% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.7 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "hold", with an average price target of $35.18.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 6, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $34.28, a target of $35.18 (+2.6%) and a stop-loss at $33.07 (-3.5%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 0.7 to 1: the potential loss is bigger than the gain, a weak setup.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Sep 21, 2026 whatever the price does.
