⚠️ Reasons to hesitate

The consensus is not unanimous: of 24 ratings, 7 are neutral and 1 is a sell.
Limited upside: the median target is only -5% from the current price.
High valuation (P/E ~43): strong growth is already "priced in", leaving little room for error.
A 12-month target is not a guaranteed path: the price can fall in the meantime.
Volatile stock: sharp swings — including steep drops — are part of its profile.
No dividend: your return depends only on price appreciation.
