The $366.34 print on August 4 edges past the prior 52-week peak set on July 17 by 2.14%, marking a fresh record for the stock and extending a strong multi-month run.

For investors watching the stock, the key question after any 52-week high is whether the buying momentum that carried it past the July peak can hold. The chart shows the shares spent several months in the $140s and $150s earlier in the year before a sharp recovery, so the current level represents a significant turnaround from those lows.
