Price these guesses point to$405.14+77% vs $229.51 todayAbout +12% a year, before dividends

What today's price needs: with a 7% margin and a 19x P/E, sales could shrink about 2.7% a year for 5 years and still match today's price.

Simple math on your guesses, not a forecast or a price target. Real results depend on many things these sliders leave out.

Insider rating

43Mixed

Pre-planned sales of $7.4M (weaker signal)

50 is neutral. Buying by more insiders, top executives and bigger stakes raises it. Selling lowers it; pre-planned sales count less.
