EPS estimates have been consistently beaten over the last several quarters, with the latest quarter showing a 10.5% positive surprise. This indicates strong and reliable earnings generation.
Strong Recent Performance
The stock has shown robust performance over various periods, with a 1M return of 5.63% and a 6M return of 53.23%. Year-to-date (YTD) performance is a significant 68.85%, and the 1Y return is an impressive 126.61%.
High P/E Ratio
