As a result, I’ve been buying the stock for my portfolio. Here’s why I think the latest drop’s a buying opportunity as the market’s underestimating the company’s long-term prospects. What’s the problem? The biggest issue with Rentokil’s latest update is the performance of its North America business. The company’s expecting organic sales growth of just 1% during the second half of the year. Sometimes, slow revenue growth can be explained…

The main point of investing for the long term is to make money. Furthermore, you’d generally like to see the share price rise faster than the market. But Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.
