The stock has experienced a slight decline of about 0.3% recently, which may indicate short-term volatility.
High price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 49.80 suggests that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
Recent insider sales, including a significant sale by a director, could raise concerns about the company's future prospects and insider confidence.
