Over the past 23.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in SYNA would have grown to $1844, compared to $1225 for the S&P 500. That represents an annualized return of 13.4% vs 11.4% for the index — confirming SYNA 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 at a -35.8% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
