Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on December 5, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 27% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 6, 2025
The stock has pulled back, but the bigger trend is still up. It was recently praised for growth at a fair price, very high profit returns (ROE above 50%), and a low price-to-growth number (~0.90). It also holds a top analyst rating. The price looks washed out, so if the market stays friendly, a move back toward recent highs over the next 3 months looks realistic.
Primary drivers
- Fair price for growth, very strong returns, and a low price-to-growth ratio
- Top analyst ranking can draw more attention and bring in more buyers
- Stock looks washed out while the longer trend is still pointed upward
- More electric and alt-fuel buses can improve profits per bus sold
How it played out
