Verdict: Hold; the quality of the business and the guidance raise are positive, but the high multiple already discounts much of the good news.
Main risk: The main risk is valuation: a P/E of 39.35 leaves little room for error if growth decelerates or if the market demands a higher risk premium due to the interest rate environment.
