Blah Blah Blah...been hereing the same story since first bought in in 08/09. Still collecting the same juicy divi too.
This company is growing at a very nice rate and the current lo econusyomic conditions even help them out more. Budgets are being slashed everywhere and school boards have no choice but to outsource.
Lower interest rates allow STB to lease at very attractive rates. Last I heard it was around 3% for 6 years. Even purchasing them has come down.
They could lease the whole fleet if they wanted too.
The average age of their fleet is only 5.8ish years so I don't know why people get so worried about having to replace . There is no age limit set for when a bus must be replaced, though I think STB uses 13/15 yeiars as a guideline which is the lowest in the industry. They could even go a whole year without replacing a single bus.... imagine what that would do to their POR
You have a CEO who buys plenty on the open market and sells none and would be buying right now if not for the blackout period. You have SNCF Participations, S.A. , who seem to know about the business, buying regularly toio.
At the end of the day games will be played as thats how the market works now. But the divi will always get paid.
