Everpure Stock Climbs 34% On A 9-Day Winning Streak
Everpure (P) stock has risen for 9 consecutive trading days, gaining 34.2% over that stretch. That added about $12.5 billion to the company’s market value, which now stands at about $49.0 billion. The stock closed at $147.20 on Tuesday, October 6.
The Streak Next To The S&P 500
Returns for P and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Tuesday, October 6 and including dividends:
| Return Period | P | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 2.3% | 0.6% |
| 9 Days (Current Streak) | 34.2% | 1.5% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | 47.9% | 1.4% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 89.4% | 4.8% |
A Stock-Specific Run, Or A Market Move?
Over the same 9 trading days, the S&P 500 returned +1.5% including dividends, so the run is mostly Everpure’s own story rather than the market’s. No other S&P 500 stock is currently on a winning streak of 9 days or longer. Over the past three months the stock is up 89.4%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 54 sessions of that window it was up 41.1%.
Do The Fundamentals Support The Run?
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 27.2% over the last twelve months, against a median of 17.9% for S&P 500 Information Technology stocks; its operating margin is 5.3%, versus a median of 21.7%; and the stock trades at 193.5 times trailing earnings against a median of 36.6. The numbers make the run harder to justify: margins below the median and a multiple well above the median. At this price, the stock is asking a lot of the business.
