Yahoo! Finance: Feel Good About Gaiam

Far be it from us to dispense stock tips but a recent piece on Yahoo! Finance by Hilary Kramer (any relation to Cosmo?) has good things to say about Gaiam (NASDAQ: GAIA).

We’ve mentioned Gaiam in the past, of course, but what we didn’t mention is that it sells more than 7,500 home, health, and lifestyle products through its Web site, direct sales force, and a mail-order catalog - from solar power equipment to yoga apparel to composting materials.

And as Kramer writes,

Personally, I think this company is a winner — the healthy lifestyle business is not just a fad, and Gaiam is a leading and quality brand in the sector. Gaiam’s direct-to-consumer sales allow them to collect a greater share of the prices. There’s simply very strong revenue growth. If you can be patient you’ll see the stock price grow in the coming years as costs are cut and grow continues organically. More and more people are turning to this kind of eco-friendly lifestyle and more and more private equity firms will be looking for the perfect baby booming acquisition.
