Up 108% last year, though weakened in recent months. Trades at 43x PE. Has great growth and is very profitable. They have no competitors. Revenue tripled over the last 4 years while revenue climbed from nothing to $9.37 EPS. Growth will continue, maybe accelerate at 37% revenue growth and 56% earnings growth.
The stock is down 4% today. There was a lawsuit filed relating to the big decline earlier this year, but we would not consider this to be of any significance.
