Magnificent long-term results. Long-term holders have seen +126% over three years and +269% over five, ahead of 80% of the market.

Strong recent results. The stock is outperforming over the past month (+2%).

WATCH

Returns sit at the market level over three months (-3%) and so far this year (-7%).

WEAKNESSES

It's down 24% over the past year, now 28% below its 52-week high. That is lagging the market.

BOTTOM LINE

Steady Compounder

Dependable multi-year returns with a calmer near-term tape. A reliable long-term trend rather than a short-term breakout. The one thing to watch: the one-year trend is weak.
