This analysis found that the company’s current share price is too high given its historical financial performance and future growth outlook, and therefore does not warrant its current premium valuation. The analysis also noted that the company’s stock has been overvalued for some time and that current investors may be taking on more risk than necessary. As a result, the New York Times recommends investors exercise caution when considering investing in the company’s stock.
