It pays a dividend of $1.44 for a current yield of 10%. A Q2 distribution of 36 cents was declared on July 10. Analysts estimate that the net asset value (NAV) of CODI is $17.04.

Technically the stock is trading in the upper portion of its trading pattern, which is a right triangle with support at $12.50 and resistance at $14.80.
