Investment Highlights

Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow

These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow
