Analysis: OK—NOT GREAT.
This company seems to have more debt than many others within its industry, but they seem to manage it pretty well. They seem to have plenty of cash to withstand some downturn. Their returns are a little disappointing.
You can play with this stock’s overall upward trending pattern and short-term volatility. The dividend is okay, too. (about 2-3%)
