How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 23.5x Exit PE.

This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, NPKI is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $13.27, while resistance sits at $14.69.
Market Sentiment: NPKI has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders.
