Can't see anything specific, but we're seeing a fairly consistent trend in markets where a stock consolidates after making a significant move. That's really positive for the stock longer term, as it builds a base and then goes to the next level.
Business has been doing phenomenally well. Growth in mid-teens to low 20% over last few years, which probably continues for some time. More large companies are farming out fleet management to EFN, and EFN is offering more services (which boosts revenue, much of which is recurring).
He'd say to watch it. If it starts to break down more, then maybe something's changed. But sideways action is often just a case of consolidation.
The stock is up 27% in the past year though down a bit since the US election. It reports earnings Feb 26, before the next tariff 'deadline'. So earnings may be the more important factor if buying in the next month. We think $26 would be attractive, barring any other news.

(A Top Pick Feb 6/14. Up 2.87%.) Taking advantage of what happened in 2008 when a lot of US industrial companies deferred or stopped purchases of new equipment. There is a lot of new equipment being purchased and leased now and, at the same time, a lot of companies that were doing the leasing have either retreated or downsized. Made a big acquisition and about 75% of the financing was considered to be equity. Yield of 0.29%.
