Price History

The shaded fan is where this price has historically travelled over the months after a close like today’s. It is not a forecast: it has no view on direction, only on distance.

$67.38$164$260.62$357.23
2021-102026-09 · $229.92

Over 3 months from Sep 2026, roughly two-thirds of past moves landed between $175.89 and $300.55; nine in ten between $147.98 and $357.23.

Tested against this asset’s own history: across 70 past 3-month windows, the price actually landed inside the two-thirds band 69% of the time. The gap from 68% is the model’s error — real returns have fatter tails than the maths assumes, so the band gets breached more often than it claims.

Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $9,665 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +112.5%.

Lump sum instead — $8,500 all at once in Sep 2019: $57,633 (+578.0%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Jul 2026): $282.8 on $300 invested (-5.7%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.

It's a listed company categorised under information technology and application software.

It rates High Risk at 2.8/5, meaning several rated factors score badly, so this carries materially more risk than a typical holding.

What pushes the score up: earnings quality (5.0/5) and market / volatility (3.3/5).

Scoring well: sector / regulatory at 1.0/5.

Not yet researched: leverage / financial, concentration, governance. These are excluded from the score rather than guessed, so the real risk may be higher than what’s shown.

Ratings summarise sourced facts against fixed rules — not investment advice, and no substitute for your own diligence.
