What happened
Reached its target in 67 days.
The thesis — published August 21, 2025
This looks like a short-term trade around the upcoming Q2 update. The price trend has improved, many investors feel positive, and Wall Street expects higher sales and profits. But after a 64 percent climb since November, the bar is high. Consider starting near the recent average price range, use smaller amounts before earnings, and add only if results show steady store visits, solid sales levels, and healthy profit margins.
Primary drivers
- Investor mood is very positive, and the chart looks healthier than before.
- Recent trend is turning upward, with lots more people buying than usual.
- Analysts expect higher sales and profits in Q2, which could lift the stock.
- After a 64 percent climb since November, expectations and event risk are higher.
