Context and risks

Verdict: Hold; the quality is undeniable, but the 70.6x earnings multiple already discounts growth that could normalize.
Main risk: The extreme valuation (P/E 70.6, EV/EBITDA 53.9) leaves little room for error: any sign of a slowdown in the semiconductor cycle or higher rates could trigger a severe correction.
