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 dipped inexplicably to $12 a while ago. A leasing business, 90% non-Canadian. They were big buyers from General Electric (GE-N). They have railcars, helicopters and leasing. Have split into commercial and industrial sides. Valuation now is under 10X earnings, which he doesn’t quite understand. If you were to get a 15 multiple on the number they say they can reach, you could see $25. He would be happy if it could get halfway there. Thinks it gets back to $20 by the end of the year. Dividend yield of 0.68%.
