The consensus is not unanimous: of 11 ratings, 2 are neutral.
High valuation (P/E ~50): strong growth is already "priced in", leaving little room for error.

Volatile stock: sharp swings — including steep drops — are part of its profile.
Negligible dividend (0.1% yield): your return depends mostly on price appreciation.
