Stock pickers are generally looking for stocks that will outperform the broader market. And in our experience, buying the right stocks can give your wealth a significant boost. For example, long term Patrick Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:PATK) shareholders have enjoyed a 97% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 69% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 58% in the last year , including dividends .
In light of the stock dropping 6.8% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive five-year return.
