If you had to pick out an idea for an exciting enterprise, Valvoline (VVV) – which specializes in retail automotive services, particularly oil changes – probably wouldn’t even crack the top 200 list. However, in terms of relevance, VVV stock deserves more respect. Yes, the world may be pivoting toward electric vehicles. However, the vast majority of U.S. drivers still operate combustion-powered vehicles.
While it’s certainly not a market idea that’s likely to make you rich, fundamentally over the long run, VVV stock should keep you afloat. And for the most part, that’s what it has done. In the trailing five years, shares gained over 66% of equity value. No, it’s nothing to write home about. However, Valvoline also allows investors to sleep a bit easier at night.
