Hot Take | April 18, 2026, 10:37 p.m. EDT

Strong short-term momentum signals a 'hold or scale-in' bias as price breaks above both 50-day and 200-day averages with healthy volume, despite a neutral-to-slightly-bearish 45-day forecast suggesting the recent rally may be approaching a local peak; long-term value is constrained by a 2x P/E multiple, while the lack of dividends makes it unsuitable for income seekers.
