Canada's #1 brand in its sector, has 25% market share. Went public 6-7 years ago, and increased sales and profits every year. US acquisition should accelerate growth.

(Analysts’ price target is $43.53)He sold it after a recent disappointing earnings report (lowered their guidance a lot). After all, they're not in a cyclical business. Their acquisition of a Chinese company was interesting, though the structure was unusual--they bought $100 million in preferred shares with warrants but no dividend and took a minority share in the Chinese business. That was the right move in the Chinese market. Otherwise, JWEL's fundamentals didn't impress him. The stock isn't getting much love these days.
