Moat

Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Horizon
1-3 yr $132.69 (13-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $194.27 at ~12% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $288.19 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.
