Weekly Stars & Dogs Park Lawn (STAR)
A lot of people are dying to invest in Park Lawn’s stock, apparently. Shares of the funeral home and cemetery operator surged to a record high after it reported a 35-per-cent increase in revenue for the fourth quarter, lifted by acquisitions and strong demand for the company’s products and services. Park Lawn – whose earnings easily topped analysts’ expectations – also announced a series of acquisitions in North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin that deepened its presence in the U.S. market. You can’t take it with you, but investors are enjoying it while they can.
