This Stock Has Doubled in Three Years — Can It Keep Climbing?
One equity has delivered more than 100% gains over three years. Analysts see three structural reasons the rally may not be over.
Few things capture investor attention quite like a stock that has more than doubled in three years — a feat that handily outpaces the broader market's historical average annual return.
