I'm glad that even though the consumer downturn, high inflation, high borrowing, society has weathered it. I was shopping around $100 and I'm happy for these results, especially their margins which beat estimates. 😊

Also glad you shopped this at a very good price, soooo awesome :)

Thanks, I think it's a good price and if she's still there for a while I'd buy it. Long term, I think they should at least maintain their current numbers and dividend. 😊
