At the present time the company is on an acquisition and consolidation plan that should eventually mean so -- I can't believe I'm using this term " synergism " t0 their far flung operations. Fewer people, less redundancy hopefully more sales and earnings per share.
Wall Street brokerages have 13 buy reports published and look for increased sales and earnings and over time a 5.96% annual growth rate for at least 5 years.
This is one of the most widely followed stocks by the general investing public and over on Motley Fool 4067 CAPS members voted the stock will beat the market to only 262 that think it won't. The more experienced All Stars voted 1050 to 37. Fool notes that of the Wall Street columnists they follow all 32 of the articles have been positive.
The stock has recent price momentum with 18 new highs in the last 20 session including all of the last 5. Barchart has a 100% technical buy signal with the stock trading at 31.19 well above its recent 50 day moving average of 29.03. The stock appreciated 8.89% last month and has a 14 day Relative Strength Index of 78.54% and rising.
This stock has:
