1) Brief Summary: The company has shown a strong performance in the past week with a 32.75% increase, despite a negative performance in the past quarter and month. The sales have grown over the past 5 years at a rate of 14.59%, however, the latest sales figures show a slight decrease of -1.82% year on year. There have been significant insider transactions recently, primarily revolving around restricted stock units. Despite a short float of 13.5%, the company has a substantial market cap of 2.70B and high institutional ownership of 101.49%.

2) MARKET_SCORE[82]: Despite recent market volatility, the company's performance, strong institutional backing, and recent insider transactions suggest an 82% likelihood of an upward move.

3) PRICE_TARGET[$88]: Considering the recent performance, strong institutional ownership, and insider transactions, we can expect the price to rise by roughly 20%. With the current price at $74.178, this would set a price target of $88.
