Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 60, 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 0.6x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: bullish structure intact, no fresh break.
The most recent swing high is $38.95 and the swing low is $31.26; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bullish order block, a zone where large buyers stepped in before.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.40, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 29.8% and revenue growth of +19.8%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.80 per share, which missed the $0.88 analysts expected.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.4 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $41.20.
The next earnings report is expected around Jan 21, 2027; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $37.07, a target of $39.45 (+6.4%) and a stop-loss at $35.42 (-4.5%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.4 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 Nov 23, 2026 whatever the price does.
