Valuation Perspective
Forward P/E sits at 48.71, significantly above its historical average of 24.83 and the +1 Std. Dev. of 31.95. This premium valuation reflects high growth expectations but also increases sensitivity to any earnings disappointment.

Weekly Outlook
Expect consolidation near the $239.50 resistance with support at $230. A successful breakout above $239.50 could open the path toward the $265 analyst target high. A break below $228.76 may signal a pullback toward the $215-$220 zone.
