Been riding this since 2021.

Net profit(766 to 1622),
EPS(50 to 100)
All these roughly doubled in 3Y since 2020.
Whereas Price grown 7 times. 740 to around 5K
Further in terms of valuations
PE (Price to Earnings ratio) Last 5Y avg is 31.426 Current 46.40
PB (Price to Book ratio) Last 5Y avg is 6.332 Current 11.45
PS (Price to Sales ratio) Last 5Y avg is 2.8. Current 4.7
I'll patiently wait for price near 50% Fib level which is 3350. 2600 is fair value.
Pivot R2 is at 3533.
Historical fall is 35% from ATH. So 35% from ATH is 3570.
Previous resistance breakout is at 3618 which could act as support.
So +/- 5 to 8% above 50% fib level.
I'll start watching from 3620 and accumulate gradually over fall & reversal.
