Good growth company, steady earnings. Still signing contracts, and that's a good signal for future. Still hiring.

Downthumb. Valuation too high for the risk. But decent debt ratio and payout ratio.

Defensive play (cleaning and sanitizing services to healthcare/food service industry), Technically strong for multiweek swing trade (weekly chart shows MACD divergence, daily displays double bottom pattern with support at 50 day MA) Will likely meet resistance at 200 week moving average (just under 40).
