Considering the company's prospects in relation to the sector, it should be recognized that at a distance of 5 years, the company is lagging behind, but at a distance of two years, it is knocked out in the middle of the rating by adding 20% to its value, which provides investors with a dividend of 12.5% per annum.

In this case, if the shares fall below the $58 level, the investor should think about fixing losses. Investments are possible for 5% of the amount of liquid capital. Shorter targets of interest to traders should involve shorter stops. The target of $94 implies a stop below the level of $72, but its implementation may occur by the end of this year.
