One of few stocks in the world that seem just too expensive even though it operates in an industry outside of the FIRE sector of economy (FIRE = Financial, Insurance & Real Estate).
The valuation to earnings potential going forward is not worth it, nothing going for it on the dividend end, and there would be other companies in the sector that are much more desirable.

I'd sell this company to put my money elsewhere. In fact, I'd rather use that money and pour it across residential real estate, apartment buildings, other stocks, commodities, or bonds. Even if it survives the next decade, it will lag its peers and it will likely lag S&P 500.
SELL.
