The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Did y'all see that LKQ is at 52 week lows? Currently 43.62 with a 2.29% yield.

Other than the usual squiggles, one could generalize that their valuation metrics have been gently falling for 15 years.
Presumably that trend will end somewhere.

I have long thought it was a fine company.
I mentioned them on the price dip in late December 2018 on the old Brk board. I had bought that November, and again that day.
Even with the recent 26% fall from the 52 week high, it has still returned 13.5%/year since the post. Better than a kick in the head.
