How should I think about a streak like this?
A streak is information, not an instruction. It tells you where market attention and momentum are focused, but it makes no promises about tomorrow. All streaks end.
The disciplined move is to treat the new price as a prompt to check the business. The data here points to a company with high growth and margins trading at a valuation that is not extreme. The question for any investor is whether that fundamental picture, at this new price, still fits their own criteria.
A run like this is worth respecting, and worth testing: the momentum that lasts is usually the kind management itself is underwriting. Our Guidance Momentum screen tracks the stocks whose companies just raised their own forward numbers.
