(Analysts’ price target is $213.23)WEX offers fleet payments/fuel solutions as well as B2B payment services. It looks cheap at 13X forward earnings and typically grows in the double-digit range on the top and bottom lines. Fundamentally it is a strong company with good and consistent margins. Debt is largely covered by cash and investments. We don't see a whole lot to pick on here.
