Over the past 9 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in RIOT would have grown to $405, compared to $338 for the S&P 500. That represents an annualized return of 16.8% vs 14.5% for the index — confirming RIOT as a market-beating investment and the kind of quality company where buying during 200-week moving average touches has historically been rewarded.
Free cash flow has been declining. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
