⚠️ Reasons to hesitate

The consensus is not unanimous: of 7 ratings, 3 are neutral.
High valuation (P/E ~33): 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.
Negligible dividend (0.1% yield): your return depends mostly on price appreciation.
