Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 8 days.
The thesis — published July 21, 2025
After a 20% climb this year, the share price has cooled. Our momentum gauge is now very low, and similar readings in the past have often led to 6-8% rebounds. Excitement stays high because a 18 Jul article showed the company using artificial intelligence to convert more customers at checkout. With 30% cash profit margins and ongoing share buybacks softening any dip, we aim for $800 (about 5% higher) by tax season.
Primary drivers
- Our momentum gauge says the stock looks oversold, so a bounce is likely.
- News on 18 Jul about AI improving payments keeps excitement very high.
- Big cash profits (30%) let the company keep buying back shares on dips.
- Upcoming Investor Day and tax-season buzz give more reasons for movement.
