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.

Had this as a Top Pick previously. Still likes it. Have made a number of large acquisitions in the last year. Now have the balance sheet leveraged enough, he thinks, that there is US interest. You are looking at an earnings progression something like $0.60, $1 and $1.40. Big, big growth coming in the next two years. He thinks it will be at $17-$18.
