The stock’s price pattern is closely related to the business cycle but it outperforms the market when business is down. It is a very strong company with something of a cult following both in terms of the customers and investors.
However, many analysts are bearish on this stock and believe the company’s valuation is at least double of its fair value and point out fundamental issues, such as cash flow. It will be interesting to see what will happen to the stock when the economy readjusts and interest rates go back up, as nobody knows for sure.
