Over the past 22.8 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in HOFT would have grown to $229, compared to $1076 for the S&P 500. HOFT has returned 3.7% annualized vs 11.0% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -100% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
