Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 73, above 70, which is overbought: buyers have been very aggressive and a pause or pullback is common from here.
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 4.7x its 20-day average, so the latest move has real participation behind it.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 0.21, which looks cheap relative to its expected growth.
The company reports a profit margin of -9.2% and revenue growth of +68.6%.
In its latest quarter it earned $3.46 per share, which beat the $3.44 analysts expected, with revenue +68.6% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.2 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $105.06.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 5, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
