What can we learn from the decade’s top-performing retail stocks?
December 19, 2019
Share growth is not necessarily the best indicator of the best retailer, since there are as many ways to grade retail greatness as there are — well, graders. According to Motley Fool’s Jeremy Bowman, seven retail companies stood out for outstanding market performance during the past decade. Many have been the stuff of headlines throughout the period; others seem to have flown under the radar. Topping the list is Lululemon Athletica, which managed an astounding 1380 percent share price increase since 2010. Coming in at #3 is O’Reilly Automotive, with a 1050 percent increase.
