Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 16 days.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
Strong company on a pullback. The price looks beaten down, but the overall push still points up, so easing in over time makes sense. Q2 sales grew 31 percent and profits improved. Recent comments (10-11) sounded more upbeat, even with leadership changes noted (10-10). If the overall market broadens out, the stock could rebound over the next 0-3 months. Small-business exposure and foreign currency swings are key risks. Patience helps.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out, while upward momentum remains in place.
- Sales grew 31 percent in Q2 and profits moved in the right direction.
- Management tone improved on 10-11, which can lift investor confidence.
- Leadership changes flagged on 10-10 add uncertainty and may slow progress.
