The stock is trading 11.5% below its 20-day SMA ($623.17), a sign the recent pullback has real force even though it’s still 0.5% above the 50-day SMA ($549.02).Earnings & Analyst OutlookLooking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the July 29, 2026 (estimated) earnings report.
