Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 63, 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 0.7x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $129.38 and the swing low is $65.60; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.08, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 21.0% and revenue growth of +17.6%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.22 per share, which beat the $1.17 analysts expected, with revenue +17.6% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 1.9 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $136.16.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 12, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $114.89, a target of $120.63 (+5.0%) and a stop-loss at $109.58 (-4.6%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.1 to 1: the potential gain is not much bigger than the loss, so the setup is marginal.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Oct 19, 2026 whatever the price does.
