Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 62% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 25, 2025
Shares fell 8% after news that a new CEO will take over in 2025, so the stock now trades at a much lower price than similar companies. Trading activity shows lots more people are buying than usual. Results and the first call with the incoming CEO in mid-August could remind investors that sales are still expected to grow in the mid-teens and may lift the price toward $17 within roughly three months.
Primary drivers
- Drop after CEO news left the stock looking cheap
- Recent buying volume is 60% above normal
- Results and first talk with new CEO arrive mid-August
- Share price is about one-third cheaper than similar companies
