With a $328.2B market cap, a P/E of 18.0 and a dividend yield near 0.76%, the stock looks reasonably valued for a company with dominant commerce and growing cloud and AI franchises. I see a tactical long opportunity with an entry at…

We lay out an entry at $50.57, a stop at $46.00 and a $62.00 target over a 180 trading-day horizon, with clear catalysts and ri…
