This one seems a brilliant stock to me. Picking it at 52W low, I expect strong long-term outperform pick. Fitness industry these days is rising, as does the so called weight-loss one: good God, just look at 5XL T-shirts sold in U.S.! Global overweight problem is more serious than global warming - one couldn't care about rising temperatures, if he just can't stand up from the sofa without some assistance. Specifically, for fitness industry, there is a lack of cheap fitness centres on the market now: as really lot of people wish they could work out but they can't because the club membership is too expensive. One shouldn't expect a $1.5B cap company to build something, but providing fitness and diet programs directly to homes is absolutely great idea (and that's not insane ads on TV, like, buy that special Chinese hand-pumper for just $19.99!).








For the stats, everything is perfect, or near to perfect for a company in slight recession (a 52W low, I remind). And management deserves to be mentioned separately for sure, such RoE and RoA are outstanding.
