- Remarkable record over the past 10 years, extremely favorable ROE amongst many other metrics.
- Synergies and increased efficiencies with new rehab and vet businesses along with mkt share growth will lead to very good future.
- Manageable debt, the majority of which isn't due until years from now.
- Numerous metrics better than major competitor, HSIC.
- Heavily discounted by the market at this point in time. (18+/share)
