Gross margin up 1.2 points on the quarter after a year of falling, and alone among tonight's turns it sits on a business that already works: revenue +10% y/y, 14 cents of operating profit and 12 cents of free cash per revenue dollar, 11% earned on capital. The strongest fact against it is price — 20.7 times EBITDA is the dearest fifth of its own 5 year range, the 97th percentile against a median of 15.7, so a modest turn is being bought expensively, softened only by the 14.5 times on the last four quarters. I sell if gross margin rolls back over, or if revenue growth falls away from 10% while the multiple stays at that percentile.
