Warnings

⚠ Our estimate assumes profit margins grow from 9% to 28% over 10 years. If that improvement stalls, the company is worth considerably less.

ℹ Gross margin of 90% means each dollar of revenue is highly profitable. As the company grows, overhead costs should shrink as a share of revenue, boosting overall profits.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $62.00 (from 25 analysts). Our estimate is 43% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
