Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in CARR’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on CARR for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing.
