I last wrote about PWR Holdings (ASX:PWH) over 18 months ago. It has been a bumpy ride since. At the time the share price was $8.60. It rose to $12.98 in February 2024 before halving to $6.10 in November. At the time of writing it is $7.80. So why the roller coaster?
At the time of the previous article, I referred to a screen built by Stockopedia contributor Roland Head that identifies quality stocks that are strong compounders. (Building a screen to find Compounding Quality stocks). PWR met the criteria for this screen at the time. It still does.
