In the said letter, Forager Funds highlighted a few stocks and APi Group Corp (NYSE:APG) is one of them. APi Group Corp (NYSE:APG) provides construction equipment and services. APi Group Corp (NYSE:APG) stock gained 44.7% and on November 9th it had a closing price of $15.27. Here is what Forager Funds said:

“APi Group is a slightly less exciting business, but its maintenance services in the fire safety, utilities and telecommunications sector provide predictable revenue and profitability, and its capacity to buy and improve smaller companies in the same sectors provides a long runway for growth. In fact, the company has grown revenues at an annual rate in excess of 12% over the past decade. APi also trades at an attractive valuation of just 12 times earnings. We feel this is far too low given the secular growth that it is exposed to.”
