The Business, in Plain Words
Why it stands out
A 24%-growth business trading at just 13.3x forward earnings. That is a 54% discount to our $37.95 fair value: the market is pricing it cautiously while the fundamentals argue otherwise. 23 analysts rate it Buy with a $35.00 average target, about 42% above today's price.
The risks · The things to watch: it already moves more than the market on an average day; its business and earnings are exposed to Germany and to currency swings.
