However, the stock jumped a lot recently and people still disagree about its fair price. That makes short-term moves fragile: good for traders but risky if markets turn cautious.
Primary drivers
- Buyback news and AI message support future growth
- Ad-tech business continues to execute well operationally
- Recent big price swings keep debate over fair value alive
- Higher volatility means timing entries needs care
