WSO

I own WSO and it is up 4%+ today.

WSO doesn't fit the model, but I like it for a few reasons
1. The story - They provide air conditioner maintenance and parts servicing. It is a fragmented market and at 7% share, they are a dominant player. They are aggressively acquiring others, an dthat can only lead to economy of scale gains.
2. It's Summertime. More homes and buildings = more demand for air conditioning service
3. P/E of 22 in the face of 20% growth expectations but 42% last quarter
4. Low P/S of 0.9
5. Possible downside tied to electricity prices and desire to conserve energy by shutting off A/C.

It feels fairly priced, but I like the acquisition strategy and wouldn't be surprised to see growth.
