#IEX Fundamentals, Technical and the other data, a🧵:
IEX has been coming up with great results but market is anticipating coupling fear and hence stock is falling. This is the common perception.
Is this the case, let us deep dive?

Is the future going to be different and is stock going to underperform big time on growth?
