Over the past year, its total shareholder return hit 134.2%, signaling sustained momentum. The stock trades slightly above its analyst price target of $203.47 and a fair value estimate of $192.95, suggesting possible overvaluation.

Investors should weigh these drivers and risks carefully and consider broader market alternatives for a balanced view.
